Celsius to Kelvin formula

K = (°C+273.15)

Temperature scales differ in both their zero point and their degree size, so a conversion needs a multiplication and an offset — unlike length or weight, where a single factor is enough.

About Celsius

The Celsius scale puts the freezing point of water at 0° and its boiling point at 100° at standard pressure.

About Kelvin

The kelvin is the SI base unit of temperature, starting at absolute zero; it uses the same degree size as Celsius.

Frequently asked questions

What is 0°C in Kelvin?

0°C equals 273.15K.

What is normal body temperature?

37°C — about 310.15K.

At what temperature do the two scales meet?

Only Celsius and Fahrenheit cross, at −40°. Kelvin and Rankine both start at absolute zero and never go negative.
