How it works

Each unit is defined by its size in grams, so values convert through grams rather than through a separate formula per pair. The constants used are the internationally defined ones — one pound is exactly 453.59237 grams, and one ounce is exactly 28.349523125 grams.

Supported units

Milligrams, grams, kilograms, and metric tonnes, plus ounces, pounds, and stone.

Example

1 kilogram = 1,000 grams → 1,000 ÷ 453.59237 = 2.20462 pounds
