How to convert kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit

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

°F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32

Example

Let's convert 300 kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit:

300 K = 80.33 °F

Going the other way

1 degree Fahrenheit = 255.928 kelvins. Use our degrees Fahrenheit to kelvins converter.
