Stone to Pounds Converter

Converting stone to pounds is a multiplication by a fixed factor: 1 st = 14 lb. The table below covers the values people look up most often, and the formula section shows exactly where that factor comes from.

Because one stone works out to 14 lb, the pound is the noticeably larger unit of the two: a figure given in pound always carries a larger number than the same measurement in stone. A chart drawn in st 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 stone while a recipe or label is written in pounds, and a courier tariff built on pounds still has to be checked against a scale showing stone.

The conversion factor used here is 14 lb per stone (0 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 st a factor rounded to three decimals can be off by a measurable amount. The reverse direction uses 0.07142857 st per lb, the exact reciprocal, so a round trip through both pages returns your original number.
