Kelvin to Fahrenheit Converter
Turns scientific temperatures in kelvins into the Fahrenheit scale used in the US.
273.15 K = 32 °F
degrees Fahrenheit
How to convert kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit
Subtract 273.15, multiply by 9/5 (1.8), then add 32.
Formula
°F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32
Examples
- 273.15 K → (273.15 − 273.15) × 1.8 + 32 = 32 °F
- 300 K → (300 − 273.15) × 1.8 + 32 = 80.33 °F
- 373.15 K → (373.15 − 273.15) × 1.8 + 32 = 212 °F

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 Fahrenheit
On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F, so one Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 of a Celsius degree. It is the everyday scale in the United States for weather, ovens and body temperature.
