Ounces to Stone Converter

Converting ounces to stone is a multiplication by a fixed factor: 1 oz = 0.004464286 st. The table below covers the values people look up most often, and the formula section shows exactly where that factor comes from.

Because one ounce works out to 0.004464286 st, the stone is the far smaller unit of the two: a figure given in stone always carries a smaller number than the same measurement in ounce. A chart drawn in oz can hide that, so check which label the axis uses before you compare two readings.

Cooking and shipping are the two places this pair appears most: a kitchen scale reads in ounces while a recipe or label is written in stone, and a courier tariff built on stone still has to be checked against a scale showing ounces.

The conversion factor used here is 0.004464286 st per ounce (9 significant digits as shown). Kept to seven figures it covers professional measurement; if you round it to two or three decimals for a spreadsheet, the error scales with the input — at a value of 1,000 oz a factor rounded to three decimals can be off by a measurable amount. The reverse direction uses 224 oz per st, the exact reciprocal, so a round trip through both pages returns your original number.
