Tonnes to Stone Converter

Converting tonnes to stone is a multiplication by a fixed factor: 1 t = 157.473 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 tonne works out to 157.473 st, the stone is the far larger unit of the two: a figure given in stone always carries a larger number than the same measurement in tonne. A chart drawn in t 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 tonnes 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 tonnes.

The conversion factor used here is 157.473 st per tonne (3 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 t a factor rounded to three decimals can be off by a measurable amount. The reverse direction uses 0.006350293 t per st, the exact reciprocal, so a round trip through both pages returns your original number.

How to convert tonnes to stone
