THE METHOD

How to convert celsius to kelvin

Move from Celsius to the absolute Kelvin scale used in science. Zero kelvin is absolute zero.

K = °C × 1 + 273.15

Formula coefficients shown rounded. Calculations use the stored factors before display rounding.

A worked example

For 10 °C, the result is approximately 283.15 K. To go the other way, edit the result above or swap the units.

Know your units

These are absolute temperatures, not temperature differences. Values below absolute zero are rejected.

Where the numbers come from

Factors follow NIST conversion references and documented unit definitions. Read our accuracy and rounding notes.
