What is 1 kg equal to in lbs?
1 kg is equal to 2.204622622 lbs.
25 kg is equal to 25 * 2.204622622 lbs = 55.11556555 lbs
What is 1 lb equal to in kg?
1 pound is equal to 0.45359237 kg.
70 lbs = 70 * 0.45359237kg = 31.7514659 kg
Method 1. Convert using simple division
To convert kg to lbs you need to just multiply by 2.204622622. Similarly to convert lbs to kg you need to multiply by 0.45359237.
Examples:
10 kg = 10 * 2.204622622lbs = 22.04622622lbs
10 lbs = 10 * 0.45359237kg = 4.5359237kg
Note: You may want to round the lbs value for simplification. Just use ROUND Excel function.
10kg = ROUND(10*0.45359237,2) = 4.54lbs
250kg = ROUND(250*0.45359237,2) = 113.4lbs
500kg = ROUND(500*0.45359237,2) = 226.8lbs
Method 2. Conversion using CONVERT Excel function
=CONVERT(cell,”unit1″,”unit2″)
Pounds are lbm in these Excel formulas.
To convert kg to lbs use:
=CONVERT(cell,”kg”,”lbm”)
To convert lbs to kg use:
=CONVERT(cell,”lbm”,”kg”)
Method 3. Convert using VBA code
This VBA code will ask you how many kg you want to convert to lbs:
Sub KgToLbsConverter() Dim KgToLbs As Long KgToLbs = InputBox("How many in Kg?") MsgBox KgToLbs * 2.204622622 & " lbs." End Sub

This VBA code will ask you how many lbs you want to convert to kg:
Sub LbsToKgConverter()
Dim LbsToKg As Long

Method 4. Convert kg to lbs and oz.
1 kg is equal to 1000 grams to it is obvious to calculate. One lb is 16 oz making it more difficult to calculate. Luckily there is an Excel formula which converts kg to lbs and oz.
=INT(A1*2.204622622)&” lbs “&INT(MOD(A1*2.204622622,1)*16)&” oz”
It will convert 250kg to 551 lb 2 oz
Method 5. Convert kg to stones, lbs and oz.
We can go even further. We prepared also a formula which will convert kg to stones, lb and oz. Stone is equal to 14 pounds so it is quite easy to develop the Excel formula as follows.
=INT(A1*0.157473044418)&” st “&INT(MOD(A1*0.157473044418,1)*14)&” lbs “&INT(MOD(MOD(A1*0.157473044418,1)*14,1)*16)&” oz”
It will convert 250kg to 39 st 5 lbs 2 oz
