Voltage Converter: US to Europe
Simple, Fast, and Clear
Use this voltage converter us to europe tool to check voltage differences and plan safe use.
United States power uses 110 to 120 volts and 60 hertz.
Most European power uses 220 to 240 volts and 50 hertz.
The calculator shows a proportional range for the target region based on your input.
It also displays the standard voltage for that region so you see the full context.
Use these numbers to decide if you need a converter, transformer, or a simple plug adapter.
How It Works
Your Quick Guide
Follow these steps to get a clear result.
- Type a value in the Enter US Voltage field, use whole numbers in volts.
- Open Conversion Type and choose US to Europe or Europe to US.
- Select Convert Voltage to see the result on the page.
- Press Enter after typing the number if you prefer keyboard input.
- Review the Conversion Result block and read the notes that follow.
What to enter
- Enter US Voltage: Type the source voltage in volts, use 110 to 120 for United States devices or 220 to 240 for European devices.
- Conversion Type: Pick the direction that matches your plan, either US to Europe or Europe to US.
What the output means
- Input: Confirms the voltage you entered.
- Equivalent Range: Shows a proportional range for the target region, based on your input.
- Standard Voltage: Lists the normal voltage used in the target region.
- Note: Explains that the range is for context, grid voltage remains fixed by region.
- Warning: Flags values outside typical ranges so you can recheck your entry.
- Tip: Reminds you to look for 100 to 240 V on the device label, that means dual voltage.
Notes and limits
- This is a calculator, it does not change electricity.
- Use a step up converter or a step down converter for single voltage devices.
- Plug types differ by country, use a matching plug adapter for socket shape.
- Frequency matters for some devices, United States uses 60 hertz and Europe uses 50 hertz.
- Enter values from 1 to 240 volts, avoid decimals for clean results.
- Check the device label for 100 to 240 V and 50 to 60 hertz before you travel.

Real Benefits for Everyday Use
Stress-Free Conversions
Here are common ways people use this calculator.
- Travel planning: Enter 120 and choose US to Europe, see a 220 to 240 range and plan a converter.
- Study abroad: Check a laptop charger label for 100 to 240 V, then confirm no converter is required.
- Online shopping: Compare a 230 V appliance with United States outlets, choose a step down converter if needed.
- Home office: Verify that a monitor with 100 to 240 V works in both regions with a plug adapter.
- Photo gear: Confirm a camera charger supports 50 to 60 hertz and 100 to 240 V for safe charging.
Examples help make it clear.
- Example 1: Enter 120 and pick US to Europe, you will see a European range near 220 to 240 V and a note that Europe uses 220 to 240 V.
- Example 2: Enter 230 and pick Europe to US, you will see a United States range near 110 to 120 V and a note that United States uses 110 to 120 V.
- Example 3: Try 85 and pick US to Europe, the tool flags it as outside the usual United States range.
Final Thoughts
