Frequently Asked Questions

What is the formula?

The formula is K = (°F + 459.67) × 5/9. Add 459.67 to Fahrenheit, then multiply by 5/9.

Why is 459.67 used?

Absolute zero is -459.67°F. Adding 459.67 shifts the scale so absolute zero becomes 0, which is then scaled to Kelvin.

Can the result be negative?

No. Kelvin cannot go below 0 K. Any Fahrenheit above -459.67°F yields a positive Kelvin value.

Is this conversion exact?

Yes. The formula is mathematically exact; the tool shows up to 4 decimal places.
