ToolFoxWeight Converter
Convert weight between milligrams, grams, kilograms, quintals, tonnes, pounds and ounces.
How it works
Each unit is defined by how many kilograms it equals — the kilogram is the base unit. Converting from one unit to another multiplies your value by the first unit's kilogram equivalent and divides by the second unit's, so milligrams, grams, kilograms, quintals, tonnes, pounds and ounces all convert through the same formula.
Example
One kilogram is about 2.20462 pounds, and 16 ounces make exactly one pound — a conversion bakers and shoppers moving between metric and imperial recipes need constantly.
Frequently asked questions
Is the pound conversion exact?
Yes — 1 pound is internationally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, so every conversion through pounds or ounces is exact.
What is a quintal?
A quintal is 100 kilograms, a unit commonly used for wholesale grain and produce quantities in India and elsewhere.
Metric tonne or imperial ton?
This converter uses the metric tonne, equal to 1,000 kilograms; the imperial (long) ton and US (short) ton are different units not covered here.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No — the conversion runs entirely in your browser using plain arithmetic.
