How to Convert Ounces to Kilograms

To convert an ounce measurement to a kilogram measurement, multiply the weight by the conversion ratio.

Since one ounce is equal to 0.02835 kilograms, you can use this simple formula to convert:

kilograms = ounces × 0.02835

The weight in kilograms is equal to the ounces multiplied by 0.02835.

For example, here's how to convert 5 ounces to kilograms using the formula above.
5 oz = (5 × 0.02835) = 0.141748 kg

Ounces and kilograms are both units used to measure weight. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

Ounces

One ounce is a unit of mass/weight equal to 1/16 of a pound. The common ounce should not be confused with the troy ounce, which is equal to 1/12 of a troy pound.[1]

The ounce is a US customary and imperial unit of weight. Ounces can be abbreviated as oz; for example, 1 ounce can be written as 1 oz.

Kilograms

The definition of the kilogram changed in 2019. One kilogram was previously equal to the mass of the platinum-iridium bar, known as the International Prototype of the Kilogram, which was stored in Sèvres, France.

The 2019 SI brochure now defines the kilogram using the Planck constant, and it is defined using the meter and second.[2] It is roughly equal to the mass of 1,000 cubic centimeters of water.

The kilogram, or kilogramme, is the SI base unit for weight and is also a multiple of the gram. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for 103. Kilograms can be abbreviated as kg; for example, 1 kilogram can be written as 1 kg.
