Weight Converter

Convert between kilograms, pounds, ounces, and stones.

Free to use, no sign-up required. Weight Converter is one of 198 tools built into Xenition, alongside a chat that can use them for you.

Converts weight (mass) between metric units, US and imperial pounds and ounces, the British stone, and both the metric and US ton. Useful for body weight quoted in stone, recipes in ounces, or freight in tons.

How to use Weight Converter

  1. Enter the weight in the left box.
  2. Choose its unit in the dropdown under it — the default is kg.
  3. Choose the target unit on the right — the default is lb.
  4. Read the converted weight in the highlighted box.

How it works

Every unit is held as a number of grams: 1 lb = 453.59237 g (the exact international pound), 1 oz = 28.349523125 g, 1 stone = 14 lb = 6,350.29318 g. The value is multiplied by the source unit’s grams and divided by the target’s.

Example

72 kg converted to stone is 11.338059 stone, or 158.732829 lb. The fractional stone is decimal, not pounds: 0.338 of a stone is about 4.7 lb, so 72 kg is roughly 11 st 5 lb.

Is a US ton the same as a metric ton?

No. The US (short) ton is 2,000 lb, or 907.18474 kg. The metric ton, or tonne, is 1,000 kg. The British long ton of 2,240 lb is a third unit and is not in this list.

How many pounds are in a stone?

Fourteen. Stone is still common for body weight in the UK and Ireland, usually written as stone plus pounds, such as 11 st 5 lb.
