How It Works

Formula

r = v \times \dfrac{f_{\text{from}}}{f_{\text{to}}}

Where

$v$: Input value
$r$: Converted weight
$f_{\text{from}}$: Conversion factor of the source unit (grams per unit)(g)
$f_{\text{to}}$: Conversion factor of the target unit (grams per unit)(g)

The calculator converts your value into grams as a base unit, then converts from grams into the target unit. That gives stable weight and mass conversions across metric and imperial pairs.
