How many pounds are in a kilogram?
One kilogram equals about 2.20462 pounds, so to go from kilograms to pounds you multiply by 2.20462, and to go the other way you divide. The relationship is fixed by an exact international definition: one pound is precisely 0.45359237 kilograms. That means 5 kg is roughly 11.02 lb, 10 kg is about 22.05 lb, and 100 kg is around 220.46 lb. A common quick estimate is to double the kilograms and add ten percent, which gets you close enough for everyday use but drifts off for larger numbers. For anything that needs to be exact, such as shipping weights, body-weight tracking, or a recipe, rounding by hand introduces error. This converter applies the full factor internally and lets you choose how many decimal places to show, so enter your value in kg and read the precise pound figure instantly.
What is the difference between a regular ounce and a troy ounce?
A standard (avoirdupois) ounce weighs about 28.3495 grams and is the ounce used for food, mail, and everyday goods. A troy ounce weighs about 31.1035 grams, roughly ten percent heavier, and is used exclusively for precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. This is why a one-ounce gold coin actually contains more metal than a one-ounce bag of coffee. The two systems also count differently: a troy pound holds 12 troy ounces, while a standard pound holds 16 avoirdupois ounces, so a troy pound is lighter overall despite the heavier ounce. Confusing the two can throw off a precious-metal valuation by a meaningful margin. This converter keeps both units separate, listing troy ounces, troy pounds, pennyweights, carats, and grains under their own troy category, so select the exact ounce you mean and get an accurate gram or kilogram equivalent.
How do I convert my weight from stone to kilograms or pounds?
One stone equals exactly 14 pounds, which is about 6.35029 kilograms. To convert stone to pounds you multiply by 14, and to reach kilograms you multiply by 6.35029. So 10 stone is 140 pounds or roughly 63.5 kg, and 12 stone is 168 pounds or about 76.2 kg. The stone is still the standard way people in Britain and Ireland describe body weight, even though scales and medical records there often read in kilograms, which makes converting between the three a frequent task. Because body weight is sometimes given as a mix, such as 11 stone 4 pounds, it helps to convert the whole pound figure first. Enter your figure in stone here and read the kilogram and pound equivalents at once, or open the built-in BMI calculator, which accepts weight in kilograms or pounds directly.
Why are there different kinds of tons, and how much does each weigh?
The word ton refers to three different units, which is why the same number can mean noticeably different weights. A metric ton, also called a tonne, is exactly 1,000 kilograms, or about 2,204.6 pounds. A US short ton is 2,000 pounds, which works out to roughly 907.185 kilograms. A UK long ton is 2,240 pounds, or about 1,016.05 kilograms. So a long ton is heavier than a short ton, and the metric tonne sits between them. The gap matters for freight, vehicle ratings, and material orders, where reading a short ton as a tonne overstates the weight by around ten percent. This converter lists metric tons, US short tons, and UK long tons as separate units so there is no ambiguity. Pick the exact ton you mean from the unit list and the tool returns the correct kilogram or pound figure.
How accurate are the cooking cup conversions in this weight converter?
Volume-to-weight cooking conversions are reliable only when the ingredient is specified, because a cup measures space rather than mass and different ingredients have different densities. This tool reflects that: a cup of water weighs about 236.6 grams, a cup of all-purpose flour about 120 grams, and a cup of granulated sugar about 200 grams, so the same cup gives three different weights. Those figures are sensible averages, but real flour can vary by how it is scooped, sifted, or packed, which is why baking guides recommend weighing ingredients on a scale for consistent results. The teaspoon and tablespoon options here are also based on water. Treat the cup conversions as a solid practical estimate rather than a laboratory measurement. To use them, pick the matching cooking unit, enter your amount, and read the gram or ounce equivalent for your recipe.

About the Weight Converter
The Weight Converter turns a value in one unit of mass into its equivalent in another β kilograms to pounds, grams to ounces, stones to kilos, and far beyond. Type a number, pick a "from" unit and a "to" unit, and the result appears instantly. It covers 27 units spread across five families: metric (micrograms through metric tons), imperial (ounces, pounds, stone, US short tons, UK long tons, drams, slugs), troy weights used for precious metals (troy ounces, pennyweights, carats, grains), scientific masses (atomic mass units, electron mass, Planck mass, even solar mass), and rough cooking measures (teaspoon, tablespoon, cup of water, flour, or sugar).
It is built for a wide audience: someone reading a recipe in the wrong units, a traveler decoding a luggage allowance, a UK patient logging body weight in stone, a jeweler weighing gold in troy ounces, a science student checking an atomic mass, or anyone who just needs kg-to-lbs without doing the arithmetic by hand.
What it converts and how the math works
Every unit is defined by a single factor relative to the kilogram, the SI base unit of mass. Your input is converted to kilograms internally and then out to the target unit, which keeps results consistent no matter which two units you pick. A few fixed relationships the converter relies on:
- 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds, and 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg (an exact, internationally agreed definition).
- 1 stone = 14 pounds = 6.35029 kg β the unit Britain and Ireland still use for body weight.
- 1 ounce = 28.3495 grams; 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams, which is why precious metals weigh "more" per ounce.
- 1 metric ton (tonne) = 1,000 kg, distinct from the US short ton (907.185 kg) and the UK long ton (1,016.05 kg).
A live formula line shows the conversion factor being applied, so you can see the working rather than just trusting the output.
Tools beyond a single conversion
The Weight Converter does more than swap two boxes. A precision control lets you set the number of decimal places, and a scientific-notation toggle keeps tiny or enormous values readable β handy when you go from grams to atomic mass units. An All Units table shows your value expressed in every supported unit at once, with a search box and category filter to find a unit fast, plus a favorites list (kg, lb, g, oz, and stone are starred by default). A Visual Comparison view puts your weight next to familiar reference objects β a paper clip is about 1 gram, an AA battery 23 grams, an average adult roughly 70 kg, a small car about 1 tonne β to give a number physical meaning. There is also a swap button, one-click copy, quick presets, a running history of recent conversions, and a built-in BMI calculator that accepts weight in kg or lb and height in cm, inches, or feet.
Private, instant, and free
Everything happens in your browser. No value you enter is uploaded, logged, or stored on a server, and there is no sign-up, paywall, or install step. Because the calculation runs on your own device, it responds the moment you type and keeps working even if your connection drops after the page loads. That client-side design is what lets the tool stay free and private at the same time.
Why accurate conversion matters
Mixing up units is not a trivial mistake. Recipes fail when grams and ounces are swapped, shipping is overcharged when pounds are read as kilograms, and dosages, lab measurements, and engineering specs all depend on getting mass exactly right. A reliable converter removes the guesswork: enter the value, confirm the units, and copy a result you can trust. Use the Weight Converter whenever a number needs to cross from one system of measurement into another.
