About kilograms and pounds
The kilogram is the base unit of mass in the metric system and is used by almost every country in the world, including for scientific and medical work everywhere.
The pound remains in everyday use in the United States and, alongside stones, in the United Kingdom for body weight. Recipes, gym equipment and shipping labels are the most common places you will need to move between the two.
Accuracy
Since the international yard and pound agreement of 1959, one pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. Every result here is derived from that exact definition rather than a rounded factor, so it matches official conversion tables to full precision.
