Free weight calculator: convert mass to weight (gravitational force) in newtons and pounds-force on Earth.

Weight (Newtons)
Weight (lbf)

Uses standard Earth gravity, g = 9.80665 m/s² (the exact SI-defined value). Weight is a force (mass × gravity), distinct from mass itself, which stays the same anywhere in the universe.

Enter a mass to calculate its weight (gravitational force) on Earth.

How to Use the Weight Calculator

One field, mass, converts straight to weight using Earth's standard gravity — there's no separate gravity input, since this one is Earth-only by design.

"How much do you weigh" is, strictly speaking, asking about mass, not weight — the two get used interchangeably in conversation, but physics keeps them separate. Mass is how much matter you have; weight is the force gravity exerts on that mass, and it changes depending on where you're standing.

weight (N) = mass (kg) × g

g is standard Earth gravity, 9.80665 m/s², an internationally defined exact value. A 70 kg person weighs roughly 686 newtons here on Earth — but the same person, same 70 kg of mass, weighs only about 113 newtons on the Moon, where gravity runs at about a sixth of Earth's. Nothing about their mass changed; the local gravitational field did.

This Weight Calculator reports the result in newtons (the actual SI force unit) and pounds-force, rather than kilograms — kilograms measure mass, and using them for "weight" is the exact conflation this calculator is built to avoid.
