Amount transferred from Platform not Equaling Electrum

[Wiredshut]

Hello Electrum Community,

First post and first time using Electrum. I recently transferred an amount of BTC from a platform to my electrum wallet but I notice the the amount does not match up.

Note: these numbers are not actual

From PlatformXXX I sent: 0.12345 (this already includes the fee PlatformXXX charges)
In Electrum I see: 123.45

Any idea why the amounts don't match up? Perhaps I am simply reading it incorrectly as this is in mBTC. I wanna be sure that all is in working order before I send more. Thanks community for the feedback and help!

Cheers,
WiredShut

You literally just answered your own question.

The amount you see is in mBTC and 1mBTC is equal to 0.001BTC so 123.45mBTC is 0.12345BTC.
