Everyday speech often uses “weight” for quantities measured in grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds, stones, and tons. Strictly speaking, grams and kilograms measure mass, while weight is the force produced by gravity. For ordinary shopping, cooking, shipping, and fitness comparisons, the standard mass conversion factors used here are the expected convention.
Be careful with the word “ton.” A U.S. short ton is 2,000 pounds, a British long ton is 2,240 pounds, and a metric tonne is exactly 1,000 kilograms. Each calculator identifies the system it uses. For regulated shipping, medication, laboratory, or commercial transactions, confirm the required unit and precision with the governing document or instrument.
The calculation runs locally in your browser: the number you enter is multiplied or divided using the stated factor, and the result is formatted for readability. Convertly does not send calculator entries to a server. We preserve more precision internally than is normally useful on screen, so you can enter decimals without the calculator repeatedly rounding intermediate values.
Reviewed: September 3, 2026. Conversion relationships are checked against recognized measurement definitions, including the International System of Units and U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology measurement guidance. Read our calculation methodology and source policy for definitions, rounding rules, limitations, and correction procedures.
Before converting, confirm that the input unit matches the value you have and that the output unit is the one required. Enter the unrounded source value whenever possible. After calculating, choose a sensible number of decimal places for the task rather than copying every digit automatically.
A useful cross-check is to estimate the direction and approximate size of the answer. Converting to a smaller unit usually produces a larger number; converting to a larger unit usually produces a smaller number. If the result differs greatly from that expectation, check for a misplaced decimal, a confused unit abbreviation, or the reverse conversion. The formula and worked example on this page are provided so the result can be independently checked.
