A pound has 16 ounces, and one ounce is about 28.35 grams. When the result is 1 pound or more, the calculator splits it into whole pounds and the remaining ounces, which is how US scales, baby weights and shipping labels usually show it.

Common uses

  • Body weight from a doctor, gym or app that uses kilograms.
  • Airline baggage limits: a 23 kg checked bag allowance is 50.71 lb, and a 50 lb limit is 22.68 kg.
  • Weight plates and dumbbells marked in kg or lb.
  • Recipes and food packaging from other countries.

Example

70 kg is 154.32 pounds, or 154 lb 5.18 oz. Going the other way, a 45 lb weight plate is 20.41 kg.

  1. 70 ÷ 0.45359237 = 154.3236 lb
  2. Whole pounds: 154; remainder: 0.3236 lb
  3. 0.3236 lb × 16 = 5.18 oz
  4. 45 × 0.45359237 = 20.4117 kg

Common mistakes

  • Reading 154.32 lb as 154 lb 32 oz. The decimal part is a fraction of a pound: 0.32 lb is about 5 oz.
  • Confusing ounces of weight with fluid ounces, which measure volume.
