Fahrenheit to Kelvin formula

K = ((°F+459.67)*5/9)

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 Fahrenheit

The Fahrenheit scale puts water’s freezing point at 32° and its boiling point at 212°, and is used mainly in the United States.

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°F in Kelvin?

0°F equals 255.372222K.

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.
