Quick answers

How many kg is a stone?
One stone is 6.350293 kg (exactly 6.35029318 kg). A stone is 14 pounds, and a pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg, so 14 x 0.45359237 gives the figure. Going the other way, 1 kg is 0.157473 stone.
How many grams are in a stone?
There are 6,350.29318 grams in a stone. That is 14 pounds at 453.59237 grams each. Half a stone is 3,175.14659 grams, and 500 g is 0.078737 stone, a little over one pound.
How do I convert kg to stone and pounds?
Multiply the kilograms by 2.204623 to get pounds, divide by 14 and keep the whole number as stone, then the leftover pounds are the remainder. For 80 kg: 176.37 lb, which is 12 stone (168 lb) with 8.4 lb left over, so 12 st 8.4 lb.
How do I convert stones and pounds to kg?
Turn the weight into pounds first: multiply the stone by 14 and add the extra pounds. Then multiply by 0.45359237. For 20 st 5 lb: 20 x 14 + 5 = 285 lb, and 285 lb is 129.273825 kg.
What is 219 lbs in stone?
219 lb is 15.642857 stone, which is 15 st 9 lb. Fifteen stone is 210 lb, leaving 9 lb. In metric the same weight is 99.336729 kg.
How many pounds are in a kilogram?
One kilogram is 2.204623 pounds (2.20462 to five decimal places). The figure comes from the pound being exactly 0.45359237 kg. Multiplying by 2.2 is about 0.2 percent low, which is fine for luggage but not for dosing or trade.
What is 2 stone in kg and pounds?
Two stone is 28 lb or 12.700586 kg. Three stone is 42 lb or 19.05088 kg. Those are the figures to use when a weight change is quoted in stone and you want it in kilograms.

About Weight Converter

One stone is 14 pounds, which is 6.350293 kilograms, and one kilogram is 2.204623 pounds. Enter a weight, choose the unit it is in and the unit you want, and this converter returns the answer to up to six decimal places plus a table of the same weight in milligrams, grams, kilograms, tonnes, ounces, pounds, stone and US short tons. Stone results are decimal: 70 kg comes out as 11.023113 st, not as 11 st 0.3 lb. The pounds row of the table gives you the figure needed to split it, and the charts below already list common body weights in stone and pounds.

How to turn decimal stone into stone, pounds and ounces

The converter reports stone as a single decimal number. To write it the way bathroom scales and UK health forms do, work from the Pound (lb) row of the results table.

  1. Convert your weight with To set to Stone (st). Example: 65 kg gives 10.235748 st.
  2. Keep the whole number as the stone: 10 st.
  3. Find the Pound (lb) row in the table: 143.30047 lb. Subtract 14 lb for each whole stone: 143.30047 - 140 = 3.30047 lb, so 65 kg is about 10 st 3.3 lb.
  4. For ounces, multiply the decimal part of the pounds by 16: 0.30047 x 16 is about 4.8 oz, giving 10 st 3 lb 4.8 oz.
  5. To go back the other way, multiply the stone by 14, add the pounds, enter the total with From set to Pound (lb) and convert to Kilogram (kg).

Worked weight conversions

Each result below is the tool's own output for the inputs shown.

290 kg in stone

Value 290, From Kilogram (kg), To Stone (st)

45.667183 st (rounded: 45.67 st)

The pounds row shows 639.34056 lb. 45 stone is 630 lb, so this is 45 st 9.3 lb.

20 stone 5 lb in kg

20 x 14 + 5 = 285. Value 285, From Pound (lb), To Kilogram (kg)

129.273825 kg (rounded: 129.27 kg)

Stone and pounds cannot be typed in together, so combine them into pounds first.

600 pounds in stone and ounces

Value 600, From Pound (lb), To Stone (st)

42.857143 st

42 stone is 588 lb, leaving 12 lb, so 600 lb is 42 st 12 lb. The ounces row shows 9600 oz.

2.2 lb to grams

Value 2.2, From Pound (lb), To Gram (g)

997.903214 g (rounded: 997.9 g)

2.2 lb is just short of a kilogram, because a kilogram is 2.204623 lb.

8 oz of flour in grams

Value 8, From Ounce (oz), To Gram (g)

226.796185 g (rounded: 226.8 g)

Conversion details shows the factor used: 1 oz = 28.349523 g.

A 23 kg luggage allowance in pounds

Value 23, From Kilogram (kg), To Pound (lb)

50.70632 lb (rounded: 50.71 lb)

1 tonne in US short tons

Value 1, From Tonne (metric ton), To US short ton

1.102311 ton

The same tonne is 2204.622622 lb.

Weight units in this converter and their exact size

Every conversion goes through the kilogram using these factors. The pounds column is the tool's output for one of each unit.

Stone, pounds and the two tons: where conversions go wrong

The stone is a unit of 14 pounds used mainly for body weight in the UK and Ireland. Because it is base 14, a decimal stone figure cannot be read as stone and pounds: 10.5 st is 10 st 7 lb, not 10 st 5 lb. That is the most common mistake when moving between kilograms, which clinics and gyms record, and the stone and pounds people quote in conversation.

The pound has been exactly 0.45359237 kg since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement, so kilograms to pounds is a defined ratio, not an approximation. The ounce is a sixteenth of a pound, 28.349523125 g.

At the heavy end there are three different tons. The metric tonne is 1,000 kg. The US short ton is 2,000 lb, or 907.18474 kg. The imperial long ton is 2,240 lb, about 1,016 kg, and is not in this converter. A load quoted in short tons is about 9 percent lighter than the same number of tonnes, so check which one a freight quote means.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Type the weight into the Value field. Use digits and a decimal point only, with no thousands separator.

  2. 2

    Choose the unit you are converting from in the From list, for example Kilogram (kg).

  3. 3

    Choose the unit you want in the To list, for example Stone (st) or Pound (lb).

  4. 4

    Read the Result, then check Conversion details for the one-unit factor and the answer rounded to two decimal places.

  5. 5

    Look at the Same value in every unit table for the weight in all eight units. To get stone and pounds, take the whole number of stone and subtract 14 pounds for each one from the Pound (lb) row.

Answers to common questions

Can I enter a weight as stone and pounds, such as 11 st 4 lb?
Not directly. The Value field takes a single number in one unit. Convert the weight to pounds first (11 x 14 + 4 = 158), enter 158 with From set to Pound (lb), and convert to kilograms or any other unit. You can also enter decimal stone, where 11 st 4 lb is 11 + 4/14 = 11.285714 st.
Why does the result show stone as a decimal instead of stone and pounds?
The converter treats every unit the same way: it multiplies by one factor and shows one number. It does not produce a combined stone and pounds result. Use the Pound (lb) row in the Same value in every unit table and subtract 14 lb for each whole stone, as in the steps above, or read the value from the charts on this page.
What is the difference between a tonne and a ton?
A tonne, or metric ton, is 1,000 kg, which is 2204.622622 lb. The ton in this converter is the US short ton of 2,000 lb, or 907.18474 kg. One tonne is 1.102311 short tons and one short ton is 0.907185 tonnes. The UK long ton of 2,240 lb is a third unit and is not included.
How many ounces are in a pound and in a stone?
There are 16 ounces in a pound and 224 ounces in a stone (14 x 16). One ounce is 28.349523 g, so a pound is 453.59237 g. One kilogram is 35.273962 oz.
Is weight the same as mass?
Strictly, no. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and weight is the force gravity puts on it. In everyday use on Earth the two words are used interchangeably, and every unit here, including the pound and the stone, is treated as a unit of mass.
How accurate are the results?
The factors are the exact legal definitions, such as 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg. The Result is shown to at most six decimal places with trailing zeros removed, and the Rounded line in Conversion details gives at most two. Results smaller than 0.000001 or of 1,000,000,000,000,000 and above are shown in scientific notation, for example 1 mg is 1.102311e-9 US short tons.
Can I use this converter for gold, silver or gemstones?
No. Precious metals are weighed in troy ounces of about 31.1035 g, roughly 10 percent heavier than the 28.349523 g avoirdupois ounce used here, and gemstones are weighed in carats. Neither unit is in the list, so the ounce result would be wrong for bullion pricing.
Why does 1,000 with a comma not convert?
The Value field is a number box that accepts plain numbers only. A comma used as a thousands separator is either blocked by your browser or leaves the field without a valid number, so no result appears. Type 1000 instead. Decimals such as 72.5 and negative numbers are accepted.
