Convert Megajoule to Newton-metre
1 megajoule = 1,000,000 newton-metre (N·m). Type any value below to convert megajoule to newton-metre both ways — it runs entirely in your browser.
Torque vs energy: Newton-metre (N·m) is used both as a unit of ENERGY — where 1 N·m = 1 joule exactly — and as a unit of TORQUE (a twisting force × distance). This page converts the ENERGY meaning, so the figures above are correct for work and heat. A newton-metre of torque is a different physical quantity and does NOT convert into joules, kilowatt-hours or calories.
Megajoule to Newton-metre conversion formula
To convert megajoule to newton-metre, multiply by 1,000,000:
newton-metre = megajoule × 1,000,000
Going the other way, 1 newton-metre = 0.000001 megajoule, so
megajoule = newton-metre × 0.000001.

About megajoule and newton-metre
Megajoule: A megajoule is 1,000,000 joules (1,000 kJ) — used for larger energy quantities such as the energy content of fuels.
Newton-metre: A newton-metre is one newton applied over one metre. As a unit of ENERGY it is identical to the joule (1 N·m = 1 J); as a unit of TORQUE it measures rotational effort — a different physical quantity that does not convert into joules, kWh or calories.
Frequently asked questions
- How many newton-metre are in 1 megajoule?
- 1 megajoule = 1,000,000 newton-metre (N·m).
- How do I convert megajoule to newton-metre?
- Multiply the number of megajoule by 1,000,000. For example, 10 megajoule = 10 × 1,000,000 = 10,000,000 newton-metre.
- How many megajoule are in 1 newton-metre?
- 1 newton-metre = 0.000001 megajoule.
- Which is bigger, megajoule or newton-metre?
- 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 newton-metre, so a megajoule is the larger unit.
