Metric Weight System – g, kg, mg, tonne

The metric system organizes weight in powers of 10:

  • 1 tonne (metric ton) = 1,000 kg
  • 1 kilogram (kg) = 1,000 g (base unit in everyday use)
  • 1 gram (g) = 1,000 mg
  • 1 milligram (mg) = 0.001 g = 0.000001 kg

Weight Conversion Formula Cheat Sheet

kg → lbs
lbs = kg × 2.20462
80 kg = 80 × 2.20462 = 176.37 lbs
lbs → kg
kg = lbs × 0.453592
200 lbs = 200 × 0.453592 = 90.72 kg
kg → stone
st = kg ÷ 6.35029
70 kg = 70 ÷ 6.35029 = 11.02 st
stone → kg
kg = st × 6.35029
10 st = 10 × 6.35029 = 63.5 kg
g → kg
kg = g ÷ 1000
3500 g = 3500 ÷ 1000 = 3.5 kg
kg → g
g = kg × 1000
2.5 kg = 2.5 × 1000 = 2500 g
oz → g
g = oz × 28.3495
16 oz = 16 × 28.3495 = 453.6 g
g → oz
oz = g ÷ 28.3495
100 g = 100 ÷ 28.35 = 3.527 oz
lbs → g
g = lbs × 453.592
2 lbs = 2 × 453.592 = 907.2 g
g → lbs
lbs = g ÷ 453.592
500 g = 500 ÷ 453.6 = 1.102 lbs
lbs → stone
st = lbs ÷ 14
168 lbs = 168 ÷ 14 = 12 st
kg → metric ton
t = kg ÷ 1000
2500 kg = 2500 ÷ 1000 = 2.5 t

Step-by-Step Conversions

How to convert kg to stone and pounds

Convert 75 kg to stone and pounds:
Step 1: Convert to total pounds → 75 × 2.20462 = 165.347 lbs
Step 2: Divide by 14 → 165.347 ÷ 14 = 11.81… → 11 stone (whole number)
Step 3: Remaining pounds → 165.347 − (11 × 14) = 165.347 − 154 = 11.347 lbs
Result: 75 kg = 11 stone 11.35 lbs

How to convert stone and pounds to kg

Convert 12 stone 6 lbs to kg:
Step 1: Total pounds → (12 × 14) + 6 = 168 + 6 = 174 lbs
Step 2: Convert to kg → 174 × 0.453592 = 78.925 kg
Result: 12 st 6 lbs = 78.93 kg

How to convert ounces to grams

Convert 12 oz to grams:
Step 1: g = oz × 28.3495
Step 2: 12 × 28.3495 = 340.194 g
Result: 12 oz = 340.19 g (just under ¾ of a pound)

How to convert pounds to grams

Convert 2.5 lbs to grams:
Step 1: g = lbs × 453.592
Step 2: 2.5 × 453.592 = 1133.98 g
Result: 2.5 lbs = 1,134 g = 1.134 kg

Weight & BMI – What's the Difference?

BMI is not a weight unit conversion. This page converts weight between units (kg, lbs, stone, etc.). Body Mass Index (BMI) uses both weight AND height in a separate formula: BMI = weight(kg) ÷ height(m)². To calculate your BMI, use the dedicated BMI Calculator linked below.

Common weight-to-BMI searches — such as "convert kg to BMI" or "BMI to kg conversion" — cannot be answered with weight alone. A person weighing 70 kg at 1.60 m has a different BMI than someone at 1.80 m. Use this converter to express your weight in the units your BMI calculator requires, then use the BMI tool for the full calculation.

Common Weight Conversion Mistakes

  • Confusing kg and lbs. 1 kg ≠ 1 lb. 1 kg ≈ 2.205 lbs. A person saying "I weigh 70" means very different things in kilograms versus pounds.
  • Forgetting that 1 stone = 14 pounds — not 10 or 12. Stone is often confused with other units. The conversion is exactly 14 lbs per stone.
  • Rounding 1 kg = 2.2 lbs as exact. 1 kg = 2.20462 lbs. For rough estimates, 2.2 works. For precise conversions (nutrition labels, medical records), use the full factor.
  • Mixing grams and kilograms. A recipe calling for "500 g" is 0.5 kg, not 500 kg. Always confirm the prefix: "kilo" means ×1000.
  • Confusing troy ounces with avoirdupois ounces. 1 troy oz = 31.1 g; 1 regular (avoirdupois) oz = 28.35 g. Troy ounces are used for precious metals only — do not apply them to food or shipping.
  • Confusing weight with BMI. Weight is a physical measurement in kg or lbs. BMI is a body-composition index calculated from weight and height. They cannot be directly converted into each other without the height value.
  • Mixing US tons and metric tonnes. 1 US short ton = 2,000 lbs ≈ 907 kg. 1 metric tonne = 1,000 kg ≈ 2,205 lbs. They are close but not the same — using the wrong one in shipping or industrial contexts creates real errors.

How many pounds are in 1 kilogram?
1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds. A quick approximation is 2.2 lbs per kg, accurate to within 0.2%.
How many kilograms are in 1 pound?
1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms (approximately 454 grams).
How do I convert kg to stone and pounds?
Step 1: kg × 2.20462 = total pounds. Step 2: floor(total lbs ÷ 14) = stone. Step 3: total lbs − (stone × 14) = remaining pounds. Use the dedicated kg ↔ Stone + Pounds tool above for one-click results.
How many pounds are in 1 stone?
Exactly 14 pounds. 1 stone = 14 lb = 6.35029 kg. Stone is used mainly in the UK and Ireland to express body weight.
How do I convert grams to kilograms?
Divide grams by 1000. Example: 750 g = 0.75 kg. Reverse: kg × 1000 = g.
How do I convert ounces to grams?
Multiply ounces (avoirdupois) by 28.3495. Example: 6 oz = 6 × 28.3495 = 170.1 g. To reverse: g ÷ 28.3495 = oz.
What is a weight conversion chart?
A weight conversion chart is a reference table showing equivalent values across different units. This page includes kg to lbs, kg to stone + lbs, lbs to kg, oz to grams, and metric weight tables for common values.
Can I convert weight online for free?
Yes. The weight converter above is completely free, requires no sign-up, and works instantly. Use the main converter for any unit pair, or the quick-conversion cards for the most common weights.
Is BMI the same as a weight converter?
No. BMI uses both weight and height in the formula BMI = kg ÷ m². This page converts weight between units only. Use the BMI Calculator (linked below) for body mass index calculations.
What is the difference between a troy ounce and a regular ounce?
Avoirdupois ounce (everyday use): 28.3495 g. Troy ounce (precious metals): 31.1035 g. A troy ounce is about 10% heavier. The troy ounce option in the advanced converter is labeled to avoid confusion.
How do I convert pounds to stone?
Divide total pounds by 14. Example: 154 lbs = 11 stone exactly. For non-whole results: 160 lbs = floor(160 ÷ 14) = 11 stone + (160 − 154) = 11 stone 6 lbs.
How many grams in 1 ounce?
1 avoirdupois ounce = 28.3495 grams (often rounded to 28.35 g). 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g.
How do I convert kg to tons?
Metric tonnes: divide kg by 1000 (1 tonne = 1000 kg). US short tons: divide kg by 907.185. UK long tons: divide kg by 1016.05. Select the correct ton type in the main converter above.

Disclaimer: All conversions use internationally defined unit factors. The avoirdupois ounce (28.3495 g) and troy ounce (31.1035 g) are distinct units — the troy ounce applies to precious metals only. BMI calculations require height in addition to weight and cannot be performed by this converter alone. For medical, pharmaceutical, laboratory, or commercial shipping applications, verify results against certified standards.
