Weight Converter

A weight converter changes a weight from one unit to another, most often kilograms to pounds and back. It's useful for gym weights and body weight on foreign apps, recipes that use ounces, luggage allowances quoted in pounds, and shipping a parcel abroad.

This converter covers metric units from milligrams to tonnes, imperial pounds, ounces and stones, and the tola used for precious metals in India. Conversions use the legal definitions, so a pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg, and every unit is listed at once beneath the main result.

A pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg, an ounce is a sixteenth of a pound (28.35 g) and a stone, still used for body weight in the UK, is 14 pounds. A metric tonne is 1,000 kg, which is different from the US short ton and UK long ton.

The tola is the traditional Indian unit for gold and silver, equal to 180 grains or about 11.66 grams. Jewellers often quote gold prices per 10 grams, which is a little less than one tola.
