How to use this calculator

Convert mass measurements without looking up a separate conversion factor. The main result uses your selected destination unit, while the equivalence table makes it easy to compare all supported units. Conversions pass through a common SI base unit using fixed factors. No live service or external rate lookup is needed.

The method

Converted value = input * source factor / destination factor

Enter the values in the labeled fields, check the units or selected mode, and choose Calculate. The result includes the applicable working and a breakdown or visual when useful. Change an input and calculate again to update the result.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Value to convert: 1 From: Kilograms To: Pounds (avoirdupois)

Converted mass: 2.2046226219 lb

1 kilograms = 2.2046226219 pounds (avoirdupois)

Scope and limitations

Uses international length units and avoirdupois mass units where relevant. US survey-foot, troy-ounce, and currency conversions are not included. Results are rounded for display.

Common questions

Can I swap the two units?

Yes. Select the desired source and destination, or use the swap-units button to exchange them.

Are live exchange rates involved?

No. These are physical-unit conversions using fixed factors, not a currency converter.
