Kg to Stone Converter

The Kg to Stone Converter turns a weight in kilograms into stone and pounds (st + lb) — the way body weight is spoken in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Instead of an awkward decimal like "11.02 stone", it gives you the natural compound form 11 st 0.3 lb, and it also shows the decimal stone, total pounds and grams so you have every equivalent at a glance. An animated weighing-scale dial shows exactly where the weight lands, and you can flip the tool around to convert stone back into kilograms.

What Is a Stone?

The stone (st) is a unit of mass in the British imperial system equal to 14 pounds, or about 6.35029 kilograms. Although it has largely disappeared from official use, it remains the everyday unit for human body weight in the UK and Ireland — people there routinely give their weight as "twelve stone four" rather than in kilograms or total pounds.

Kg to Stone Formula

Converting kilograms to stone and pounds is a two-part process: first find the total pounds, then split those pounds into whole stone plus the remainder.

Because one stone is exactly 14 pounds, the whole-number division gives the stone and the remainder gives the pounds. This is why a weight in stone always has a pounds part between 0 and 13.
