How this conversion works
The stone is Britain's body-weight unit: people are 9 stone, 12 stone, 15 stone, and the rest of the world is left to decode it. This page serves both decodings at once — stone to pounds for American readers, stone to kilograms for everyone else — with a switch on the second box and both columns side by side in the table below.
Half-stones are common in real life: 10½ stone is 147 lbs or 66.68 kg. The converter takes decimals, so 10.5 stone works exactly as written.
The exact formula
pounds = stone × 14 · kilograms = stone × 6.35029318
1 stone = 14 lb exactly, and 14 × 0.45359237 kg = 6.35029318 kg. The reverse: stone = pounds ÷ 14, or kilograms ÷ 6.35029318.
