Inputs explained

Pounds

Weight in pounds. Whole numbers or decimals both work (e.g., 180.5 lbs).

When to use it

• Tracking weight in stone for UK-based fitness programs.
• Sharing measurements with clinicians or friends who use stone.
• Converting historical weight records between pounds and stone.
• Translating US weight readings into stone for UK TV, articles, or online communities.
• Checking weight-based medication or dosage tables that use stone units.

Tips & cautions

• If you also need the remaining pounds, multiply the decimal stone by 14 and separate the whole/decimal parts.
• Use consistent units when comparing progress over time.
• Round to the nearest tenth of a stone if your scale isn’t precise.
• Record both stone and pounds (e.g., 12 st 4 lb) if you want familiar UK-style notation.
• If you’re converting old medical records, note the original units so you can double-check later.
• Outputs decimal stone only; does not split stone and remaining pounds automatically.
• Assumes non-negative weights.
• Rounding may differ from your scale’s display.
• Not suitable for scientific/clinical work requiring exact SI units—convert to kg for that.
