Convert Nm to N-cm
Newton meters to newton centimeters. Enter a value to convert, or use the Nm to N-cm chart further down the page.
1 newton meter equals 100 newton centimeters. Going the other way, 1 newton centimeter = 0.01 newton meters.
Note. Torque and energy share the same dimensions, so a newton metre and a joule are numerically identical — but they are not interchangeable in meaning. Keep torque figures in torque units.
How to convert Nm to N-cm
To convert newton meters to newton centimeters, multiply the newton meter value by 100. You can also divide by 0.01 to get the same answer.
N·cm = N·m × 100
Worked example
Convert 15 N·m to newton centimeters:
15 N·m = 1,500 N·cm

What is a newton meter?
The newton meter is the SI unit of torque: one newton of force applied at one meter from the pivot. It is the unit on almost every metric torque wrench and vehicle service manual.
What is a newton centimeter?
The newton centimeter (N·cm) is a unit of torque equal to 0.01 newton meters.
