How Conversion Works
All units are converted internally to a base unit (kilograms) using precise conversion factors:
- 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams
- 1 gram (g) = 0.001 kg
- 1 milligram (mg) = 0.000001 kg
- 1 pound (lb) = 0.45359237 kg
- 1 ounce (oz) = 0.028349523125 kg
- 1 stone (st) = 6.35029318 kg
- 1 metric ton (t) = 1000 kg
The calculator uses these factors with high precision and displays results with up to 6 decimal places for accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are my numbers safe? 100% safe. All calculations happen in your browser. No data is transmitted over the internet. You can disconnect from the network and the tool still works.
Q: How accurate are the conversions? They use internationally accepted conversion factors with high precision. Results are displayed to 6 decimal places, but you can assume at least 4‑digit accuracy.
Q: Can I convert between any units? Yes, all units are supported bidirectionally. The tool internally converts to kilograms and then to the target unit.
Q: What about very large or very small numbers? The tool handles any numeric input. For extremely large numbers, results may be displayed in scientific notation due to JavaScript limitations, but the conversion is still accurate.
Q: Does it support troy ounces or other specialized units? Currently, it supports standard avoirdupois ounces and pounds. For specialized units like troy ounces, you may need a dedicated tool.
