How to convert kelvins to degrees Celsius
Subtract 273.15 from the kelvin temperature.
Formula
°C = K − 273.15
Examples
- 77 K → 77 − 273.15 = −196.15 °C
- 300 K → 300 − 273.15 = 26.85 °C
- 373.15 K → 373.15 − 273.15 = 100 °C

About kelvins
The kelvin is the SI base unit of temperature. Its scale starts at absolute zero, so there are no negative kelvin values, and a change of 1 K equals a change of 1 °C. It is written without a degree sign.
About degrees Celsius
On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 °C and boils at about 100 °C at sea-level pressure. Today it is formally defined from the kelvin (°C = K − 273.15). It is the scale used for weather and cooking in almost every country.
