How to convert degrees Fahrenheit to kelvins

Temperature scales start at different zero points, so you can't just multiply. Use this formula:

K = (°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

Example

Let's convert 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit to kelvins:

98.6 °F = 310.15 K

Going the other way

1 kelvin = -457.87 degrees Fahrenheit. Use our kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit converter.
