How to Convert Weight & Mass Units

To perform a conversion, look up the target unit's conversion factor relative to the base unit (kilogram). Below are the exact mathematical formulas for the most common weight & mass unit pairs:

Kilogram to Pound lb = kg × 2.204622622
Pound to Kilogram kg = lb × 0.45359237
Gram to Ounce oz = g × 0.035273962
Ounce to Gram g = oz × 28.349523125

Every Weight & Mass Unit, Explained

Weight & Mass conversion covers 10 units. Below is a plain-English definition of each one and where you'll actually meet it in daily life.

Kilogram (kg)

The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, defined by the Planck constant and represented by a platinum-iridium prototype historically.

Used for: Body weight, groceries, shipping weights, and scientific mass measurements worldwide.

Gram (g)

A gram is one-thousandth of a kilogram, about the weight of a paperclip.

Used for: Nutrition labels, jewelry, cooking ingredient weights, and postal rates for small items.

Milligram (mg)

A milligram is one-thousandth of a gram, about the mass of a grain of salt.

Used for: Medication dosages, supplement labels, and analytical chemistry measurements.

Microgram (µg)

A microgram is one-millionth of a gram.

Used for: Vitamin and hormone dosages, air-pollutant concentrations, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Pound (lb)

A pound is exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, the everyday mass unit in the US and UK.

Used for: Body weight, food quantities, luggage limits, and gym weights in imperial countries.

Ounce (oz)

An ounce is 1/16 of a pound, exactly 28.349523125 grams.

Used for: Cooking, postal rates, precious-metal trading (troy ounce variants), and packaged food.

Stone (st)

A stone is 14 pounds or exactly 6.35029318 kilograms.

Used for: Body weight in the UK and Ireland, where people often report weight in stones and pounds.

US Ton (ton)

The US short ton is 2,000 pounds, exactly 907.18474 kilograms.

Used for: US industrial and construction quantities, freight, and aggregate materials.

Metric Ton (t)

The metric ton (tonne) is exactly 1,000 kilograms.

Specialist Weight & Mass Calculators & Real-World Niche Tools

Standard weight and mass units like kilograms, pounds, grams, and ounces are used globally, but specific industries like culinary baking, metallurgy, and construction logistics demand much more detailed density and structural load conversions.

In culinary arts, baking success relies on converting ingredient weight (grams) from volume (cups, tablespoons) because packing density differs between flour, butter, and white sugar. In heavy fabrication, steel weight calculators estimate raw beam or plate weights based on linear dimensions and metal grades, while rebar calculators determine structural reinforcement loading. For land developers, gravel weight calculators convert volume in cubic yards into tons to estimate hauling weights. Using these specialized weight calculators prevents structural calculation errors and material shipping underestimations.
