Millibars to Bar Converter
How to convert millibars to bar
bar = millibars ÷ 1,000
To convert millibars to bar, divide the number of millibars by 1,000.
1 mbar = 0.001 bar
Examples
- Standard sea-level atmospheric pressure: 1,013.25 mbar ÷ 1,000 = 1.01325 bar
- 1,000 mbar ÷ 1,000 = 1 bar

Unit definitions
- Millibar (mbar)
- A millibar is one thousandth of a bar, exactly 100 pascals, and is identical to the hectopascal. It is used in meteorology for atmospheric pressure.
- Bar
- A bar is exactly 100,000 pascals, slightly less than average atmospheric pressure at sea level. It is widely used in Europe for tire pressures, weather and industrial equipment.
