Unit Converters

Convert between metric, US customary and imperial units. Every converter works both ways as you type and uses exact defined conversion factors.

Converter categories

Each category page converts between all of its units and links to dedicated pages for the most common conversions.

Most-used conversions

How accurate are the conversions?

Most imperial and US units are defined exactly in terms of metric units. Since 1959 an inch is exactly 2.54 cm and a pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg; a US gallon is exactly 231 cubic inches. CalcoraBase uses these definitions directly, so conversions are exact up to the display precision of about ten significant digits.

Watch for units that share a name: US and imperial gallons, pints and fluid ounces are different sizes, and a “ton” can mean a metric ton, a US short ton or a UK long ton. The US vs imperial units page lists the differences.

Time units

Hours, minutes and seconds conversions are in the Time & Date section — see the time unit converter.
