What is the Weight and Mass Converter?

A weight and mass converter changes a mass value between metric and imperial units, including grams, kilograms, tonnes, ounces, pounds and stones.

Why use this calculator?

Strictly, weight is a force and mass is an amount of matter, but in everyday use the two are treated as the same, and all units here are masses.

How to use it

  1. Enter the mass value.
  2. Choose the source and target units.
  3. Read the converted value.

Formula

Every unit is defined relative to the kilogram, the SI base unit of mass.
The pound is legally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms.
