Force Converter

Convert between all force units

What is This Tool?

Force converters translate between Newtons (SI), pounds-force (imperial), dynes (CGS), kilogram-force, and kips. Force is a push or pull measured in units that combine mass and acceleration.

Formula
target = value x (source in Newtons) / (target in Newtons) Base unit: Newtons (N) 1 lbf = 4.44822 N, 1 kgf = 9.80665 N
Worked Examples

1. Newtons to Pounds-force

Given: 100 N

1 N = 0.224809 lbf

100 x 0.224809 = 22.481 lbf

Result: 22.481 lbf

2. Kilogram-force to Newtons

Given: 10 kgf

1 kgf = 9.80665 N

10 x 9.80665 = 98.067 N

Result: 98.067 N
