THE METHOD

How to convert fahrenheit to kelvin

Translate a Fahrenheit temperature to the Kelvin scale using both a scale factor and an offset.

K = °F × 0.5555555556 + 255.3722222

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

A worked example

For 10 °F, the result is approximately 260.9277778 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.
