Frequently asked questions
- When should I use kilograms instead of pounds?
- Kilograms in the EU, kitchen scales and medicine. Pounds in the US/UK for body weight, shipping labels and some retail packaging.
- Can the result be negative?
- No — negative mass means a bad entry. Both units expect positive values.
- How precise is the result?
- 1 kg = 2.20462262185 lb (avoirdupois). Fixed factor, not an estimate.
- What is the most common input mistake?
- Mixing up mass pounds (lb) with pounds-force (lbf) or with stones.
