Convert metric horsepower to horsepower instantly: 1 metric horsepower = 0.9863200706 hp. Type a value to see the result with the formula, swap direction with one tap, or pick any other power units from the dropdowns. Free tool with formula and table, no sign-up.
What does this tool do?
The ps to hp converter is a fast, no-sign-up converter for power units from watts to horsepower and BTU per hour. Enter any number in the Metric horsepower field and the equivalent in horsepower appears immediately, together with the conversion formula for transparency. You can reverse the conversion with the swap control, choose any of the 6 power units from the dropdowns, and copy the result in one tap. Everything runs in your browser, so it works on slow connections and never sends your numbers anywhere.
The PS to HP Converter is free of the usual catches: no watermark on results, no “three free uses” counter, no app install nagging. It does the job and gets out of the way, which is all a utility should do.

PS to HP formula
horsepower = metric horsepower × 0.986320071
Example: 5 PS = 4.9316 hp.
Reverse: 1 hp = 1.0138697 PS.
State lives in the tab: start it, use it, close it. There is no backend to fail, no sync to conflict — which is also why the tool loads instantly and works offline after the first visit.

Use cases in Pakistan
During loadshedding season, power conversion becomes practical knowledge in Pakistan: generator sellers quote kVA, UPS boxes list watts, air conditioners are sold by tonnage (BTU per hour), and motor mechanics talk horsepower for water pumps and chakkis. Converting between these units helps size a generator for the house, compare inverter ACs, or verify that a UPS can handle the load it claims.
These are the tools people recommend to each other on WhatsApp — simple, free, no install — because they solve the small problems everyone hits: timing something, picking fairly, testing a device. Bookmark the ones you use; they age well.
Limitations
Factors are exact, but electrical reality adds nuance: generator kVA must be converted with the power factor to get usable watts, and motor horsepower ratings may be input or output power. For sizing generators, UPS units or wiring, add a safety margin and consult an electrician.
Convenience tools are not certified instruments: fine for everyday purposes, but do not stake safety, money or legal outcomes on a browser utility. Know which category your use falls into.
Frequently asked questions
How many horsepower are in a metric horsepower?
There are 0.98632007 horsepower in one metric horsepower.
How do I convert metric horsepower to horsepower?
horsepower = metric horsepower × 0.986320071. Example: 5 PS = 4.9316 hp.
How many horsepower are in one metric horsepower?
Exactly 0.9863200706 hp. Both units have exact international definitions, so this factor is not rounded — any rounding you see is only in how many decimals are displayed.
How do I convert horsepower back to metric horsepower?
Tap the swap button (⇄) above the result — the From and To units exchange places and the value converts back using the exact inverse factor.
Can I convert between other power units?
Yes. The From and To dropdowns list all 6 power units this converter knows — pick any pair, for example Metric horsepower to watt or horsepower to horsepower.
How accurate is the result?
It uses the exact defined values of both units and displays up to 10 significant figures — far more precision than any ruler, scale or bill needs. The conversion itself introduces no error; only the displayed decimals are rounded.
