How to use this calculator

Convert Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin with the required scale and offset formulas. Values below absolute zero are rejected.

Step-by-step

  1. Step 1

    Enter the temperature.

  2. Step 2

    Choose the source scale.

  3. Step 3

    Choose the target scale.

How the result is calculated

°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9; °F = °C × 9/5 + 32; K = °C + 273.15.

Common questions

Why is Fahrenheit conversion not a simple multiplier?

Celsius and Fahrenheit have different zero points as well as different scale sizes, so the conversion includes an offset.

What is absolute zero?

Absolute zero is 0 K, equal to −273.15°C or −459.67°F.

Can I convert Kelvin?

Yes. Kelvin is available as both a source and target scale.
