How it works

Kilograms = stone × 6.35029318 (because 1 stone = 14 lb exactly and 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly); the converter also shows stone × 14 = pounds

The stone is exactly 14 pounds, and the pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg, so one stone is 14 × 0.45359237 = 6.35029318 kg, exactly. Stone to kilograms is a single multiplication: 11 stone is 11 × 6.35029318 = 69.8532 kg — the familiar pairing, since 11 stone is also exactly 154 lb. This page shows the pounds figure alongside the kilograms, because stone is almost always spoken and checked against pounds first.

Body weight is nearly the only place the stone survives, which creates its characteristic trap: weights arrive as stone plus pounds, such as 10 stone 7 lb, and the pounds part is not a decimal. Combine first — 10 stone 7 lb is 10.5 stone, or 147 lb — then convert: 147 × 0.45359237 = 66.6781 kg. Entering 10.7 stone instead would give 67.95 kg, overstating the weight by well over a kilogram.

The table gives the triple — stone, pounds, kilograms — for the range adult body weights actually occupy, including the half-stone step at 12.5 stone (175 lb, 79.38 kg) because half-stone goals are how weight loss is commonly tracked in the UK. Batch mode applies the same factor to a pasted list of stone values.

Worked examples

A body weight

Input
11 stone to kilograms.
Working
11 × 6.35029318 = 69.8532.
Result
11 stone = 69.85 kg (and exactly 154 lb)

Stone and pounds together

Input
10 stone 7 lb to kilograms.
Working
Combine first: 10 × 14 + 7 = 147 lb. Then 147 × 0.45359237 = 66.6781.
Result
10 stone 7 lb = 66.68 kg

The reverse: 80 kg in stone and pounds

Input
80 kg to stone and pounds.
Working
80 ÷ 6.35029318 = 12.5978 stone. In pounds: 80 ÷ 0.45359237 = 176.3698 lb, which is 12 whole stone (168 lb) with 8.37 lb left over.
Result
80 kg = 12 st 8.37 lb

Frequently asked questions

How many kilograms are in a stone?

Exactly 6.35029318, because a stone is exactly 14 lb and a pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg. Every stone-to-kilogram conversion is a multiplication by that figure, and kilograms back to stone is a division by it.

How do I convert stone and pounds, like 12 stone 5 lb?

Combine into one unit first. Either work in pounds — 12 × 14 + 5 = 173 lb, and 173 × 0.45359237 = 78.47 kg — or in decimal stone: 5 lb is 5 ÷ 14 = 0.357 stone, so 12.357 × 6.35029318 = 78.47 kg. What you must not do is read it as 12.5 stone, which would give 79.38 kg.

Why does the converter also show pounds?

Because stone is rarely used alone: scales and charts pair it with pounds, and the anchors are pound-based — 11 stone is exactly 154 lb and 12.5 stone is exactly 175 lb. Showing all three figures lets you check a weight against whichever system the person, form or chart in front of you is using.

Is a stone the same in the UK and the US?

The unit is the same — 14 lb everywhere it is defined — but the US barely uses it. Stone survives mainly in the UK and Ireland for body weight. An American reading of 11 stone usually needs it restated as 154 lb or 69.85 kg, which is exactly the triple this page prints.

How much is half a stone in kilograms?

Half a stone is 7 lb, and 7 × 0.45359237 = 3.1751 kg, displayed as 3.18 kg. Half-stone steps are common weight targets, so the table includes the 12.5 stone row (79.38 kg) between the whole-stone rows.
