About the Weight Converter

The Weight Converter switches between metric and imperial mass units using the exact international factors: one pound is 0.45359237 kilograms and one ounce is one sixteenth of a pound. Because the table shows every unit at once you can read a body weight in kilograms, pounds and stones in a single glance, which is handy when a fitness app, a doctor and a bathroom scale all disagree about units.

Strictly speaking these are units of mass rather than weight, but in everyday use the two words are interchangeable on the surface of the earth. Shipping and cooking are the other common uses: parcel limits are often quoted in kilograms while the courier prints pounds, and American recipes use ounces where European ones use grams.

How to use the Weight Converter

  1. Enter the weight you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit you are starting from and the unit you want.
  3. Read the answer, or use the table to see the same weight in every unit.

Frequently asked questions

How many pounds are in a kilogram?

One kilogram is 2.2046226 pounds. For mental arithmetic, double the kilograms and add ten percent: 70 kg is roughly 140 + 14 = 154 pounds, and the exact answer is 154.32.

How many kilograms is a stone?

One stone is 14 pounds, or 6.35029318 kilograms. Stones are still used for body weight in the UK and Ireland but almost nowhere else.

Is a US ton the same as a metric tonne?

No. A US short ton is 2,000 pounds (907.18 kg) while a metric tonne is exactly 1,000 kg, about 10 percent heavier. The UK long ton, 2,240 pounds, is a third variant.

Should I use ounces or fluid ounces for liquids?

Ounces here are units of weight. Fluid ounces measure volume and are handled by the volume and cooking converters, because a fluid ounce of honey and one of water weigh different amounts.
