How do you convert kg to lbs?
To convert kilograms to pounds, you'll multiply by 2.2046. So 1 kg is 2.2046 lb, 10 kg is 22.05 lb, and 70 kg is about 154.3 lb. The exact relationship is 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds, but 2.2046 is accurate enough that you won't notice the difference. To go the other way, from pounds to kilograms, divide by 2.2046 instead. The converter above does both directions live, and you'll find the common values in the chart further down.
How do you convert pounds to kg?
Pounds to kilograms is the reverse: divide by 2.2046, or multiply by 0.4536. So 150 lb is about 68 kg, 180 lb is roughly 81.6 kg, and 200 lb is 90.7 kg. One pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, and that's where the factor comes from. If your scale reads in pounds and a form wants kilograms, switch the From unit to pounds above and you'll read the kilograms instantly. It's the same tool, just flipped.
Weight and mass units explained
The metric units stack by tens: 1,000 milligrams make a gram, 1,000 grams make a kilogram, and 1,000 kilograms make a metric tonne. The imperial side runs differently: 16 ounces make a pound, and 14 pounds make a stone, the unit Britain still uses for body weight. A US short ton is 2,000 pounds. Strictly, these measure mass rather than weight, since weight is the pull of gravity on that mass, but in everyday use they're treated as the same. This converter covers all of them, so you don't have to remember which factor goes where, and it's all one tool here.

Frequently asked questions
What is 70 kg in pounds?
70 kg is about 154.3 pounds, found by multiplying 70 by 2.2046. That's roughly 11 stone 0 lb, a common way to say it in the UK. Type 70 in the kilograms field above to see it in every unit at once.
Multiply the kilograms by 2.2046. So 1 kg is 2.2046 lb, 5 kg is 11.02 lb, and 70 kg is about 154.3 lb. The exact factor is 1 kg = 2.20462262 lb, but 2.2046 is plenty for everyday use. This weight converter does it the instant you type, and it'll convert the other way too.

One stone equals 14 pounds, which is about 6.35 kg. Stone is still common in the UK and Ireland for body weight, so 11 stone is 154 lb or roughly 70 kg. The converter includes stone, so you won't do the 14-times step yourself to move between it, pounds, and kilograms.
There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram, and 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Grams suit food and small items, kilograms suit body weight and groceries, and milligrams suit medicine doses. Because the metric system scales by tens, converting between them just shifts the decimal point, which the tool handles for you.
Type your weight in whatever unit your scale uses, and you'll read it in the others. A scale showing 75 kg reads as 165 lb or about 11 stone 11 lb; one showing 160 lb is 72.6 kg. The all-units list above shows every unit at once, so a single entry gives you the full set.
It isn't quite the same. A metric tonne is 1,000 kg, about 2,205 lb. A US short ton is 2,000 lb, around 907 kg, and a UK long ton is 2,240 lb. This converter uses the metric tonne and the US short ton, the two you'll meet most in everyday and shipping contexts.
