Converted value = input × kilograms per source unit ÷ kilograms per target unit. One international avoirdupois pound is exactly 0.45359237 kilograms.

What to keep in mind
This everyday weight converter converts mass, not force. Ounces are avoirdupois ounces, not fluid or troy ounces.
Common questions
Can this convert fluid ounces?
No. Fluid ounces measure volume, which requires a volume converter or a material density.
Is this suitable for precious metals?
Precious metals often use troy ounces. This tool uses ordinary avoirdupois ounces, so select a dedicated troy conversion instead.
