Facts and limits of this method
| Base unit | Kilogram — all other units convert through it |
|---|---|
| 1 pound | 0.45359237 kg (exact international definition) |
| 1 ounce | 28.349523125 g (1/16 pound) |
| 1 stone | 6.35029318 kg (14 pounds, British unit) |
| 1 carat | 0.2 g (200 mg, jewelry and gemology unit) |
| Total units | 8 — mg, g, kg, t, lb, oz, stone, carat |
When it misleads you
- The calculation happens in two steps: the value is first converted to kilograms, then from kilograms to the target unit, so choosing the same unit for "from" and "to" leaves the result unchanged — that's expected, not a bug.
- "Tonne" here means the metric tonne (1000 kg), not the US short ton (907.18 kg) or the UK long ton (1016.05 kg) — those need a separate calculation.
- Pound and ounce are defined by the international avoirdupois standard of 1959 — historical or specialized (troy) pounds and ounces may differ slightly.
- Rounding is applied only to the displayed result — internal calculations use the full precision of JavaScript floating-point numbers.
How it is calculated
Each of the eight units has a preset conversion factor to kilograms — for example, 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg, 1 carat = 0.0002 kg.
The entered value is multiplied by the factor of the selected "from" unit, giving mass in kilograms.
The mass in kilograms is divided by the factor of the "to" unit, giving the result in the target unit.
The result is rounded to the chosen number of decimal places and updates instantly whenever the value, units or precision change.
Questions and answers
Which tonne is used — metric or US?
The metric tonne (1000 kg). The US short ton (907.18 kg) and UK long ton (1016.05 kg) aren't supported here — their factors differ from the metric one.
Are carats about diamond weight?
Yes, the metric carat (0.2 g) is the standard unit of mass for gemstones and pearls.
Can I convert pounds to stones?
Yes, the converter works for any pair among the eight units, including conversions within the British system of units.
