Watts to dBm Conversion Calculator

Enter the power in watts and press the Convert button:

The power P(dBm) in dBm is equal to 10 times the base 10 logarithm of 1000 times the power P(W) in watts (W) divided by 1 watt (W):

P(dBm) = 10 ⋅ log10( 1000 ⋅ P(W) / 1W) = 10 ⋅ log10P(W) / 1W) + 30

so

1W = 30dBm

Example

Convert 20 watts to dBm:

P(dBm) = 10 ⋅ log10(1000⋅20W) = 43.0103dBm
