Weight Converter

Convert kilograms, pounds, ounces, grams, stones and tons instantly.

The Weight Converter translates between the units kitchens, gyms, doctors and markets use on both sides of the Atlantic: milligrams, grams and kilograms, pounds and ounces, stones (still standard for body weight in the UK and Ireland), and metric, US and imperial tons.

Recipes, shipping parcels, luggage limits, livestock, produce, fitness goals and newborn weights all live in different unit systems — a 5-lb bag of flour, a 250 g butter block, an 8-stone weight loss milestone. Type the number, choose the units, and the conversion (with its exact rate) appears instantly.

The imperial units are defined against the kilogram: 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly, so every conversion is precise. Runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert kilograms to pounds?

Multiply kg by 2.20462: 80 kg × 2.20462 = 176.37 lb. This converter gives the exact figure instantly, and shows '1 kg = 2.20462 lb' so you can verify the math.

How many ounces are in a pound?

16 ounces in one avoirdupois pound. There are also 14 pounds in a stone, which is still the common way Britons state body weight — 10 stone 7 lb is 147 lb or about 66.7 kg.

Is a US ton the same as a metric tonne?
