Common Mistakes
Weigh yourself at consistent times (e.g., morning after bathroom) for accurate tracking. The conversion precision is not the limiting factor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 200 lbs in kg?
200 lbs equals exactly 90.7185 kilograms using the US standard pound-to-kilogram conversion.
Why track weight loss in both lbs and kg?
US users typically weigh themselves in pounds but may need kilogram measurements for medical records, international programs, or fitness apps.
Is this accurate for bmi calculations?
Yes, this conversion uses the standard avoirdupois pound and provides the precision needed for accurate BMI and health calculations.
How often should I check my weight?
Health professionals recommend consistent daily or weekly tracking. Use this converter to maintain consistent units across all your health records.

Exact Constants & Authoritative Sources
Every conversion on this page uses the fixed, internationally agreed constants below — drawn from NIST and the SI Brochure. No values are estimated or rounded as if exact. See the full list on our Sources & Standards page.
- EXACT1 pound (lb, avoirdupois) = 0.45359237 kilograms (exact)
- EXACT1 ounce (oz, avoirdupois) = 28.349523125 grams (exact, 1/16 lb)
- EXACT1 stone (st) = 6.35029318 kilograms (exact, 14 lb)
- EXACT1 short ton (US) = 907.18474 kilograms (exact, 2000 lb)
Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them
Mass vs. weight
The pound and kilogram are units of MASS, not force. On Earth, mass and "weight" read the same number in practice, but a 70 kg mass weighs less on the Moon. UnitFig converts mass; for scientific force you need newtons (1 lbf = 4.4482216152605 N, exact).
Avoirdupois vs. troy ounce
Cooking and body weight use the avoirdupois ounce (28.349523125 g). Gold and precious metals use the troy ounce (31.1034768 g). Never mix them — the error is about 10%.
Rounding the factor
Using 2.2 instead of the exact 2.20462262 overstates small errors at large values. For medical dosing or competition weight classes, keep the full factor or use a converter.
A unit-conversion reference site has no manufacturer-specific or device calibration parameters, so "layered tuning" does not apply here. The only real error-handling is input validation: the converter rejects non-numeric, empty, or out-of-range entries and shows a clear message, then falls back to exact constants above. No estimated or rounded figures are ever presented as exact.
