Convert Kelvin to Fahrenheit
Kelvin to degrees Fahrenheit. Enter a value to convert, or use the Kelvin to Fahrenheit chart further down the page.
Kelvin and degrees Fahrenheit are measured on scales with different zero points, so the conversion needs a formula rather than a single factor.
How to convert Kelvin to Fahrenheit
Kelvin and degrees Fahrenheit use different zero points, so you cannot convert them with a single multiplication. Apply the formula °F = K × 9/5 − 459.67 instead.
°F = K × 9/5 − 459.67
Worked example
Convert 300 K to degrees Fahrenheit:
300 K = 80.33 °F

What is a kelvin?
The kelvin is the SI base unit of temperature. It starts at absolute zero and uses the same degree size as Celsius, so 0 K equals −273.15 °C.
What is a degree Fahrenheit?
On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F. It remains the standard scale for weather and cooking in the United States.
Frequently asked questions
How many Fahrenheit are in a kelvin?
Kelvin and degrees Fahrenheit have no fixed ratio, because the two scales start at different zero points. Convert between them with °F = K × 9/5 − 459.67 instead of multiplying by a single number.
How do you convert Kelvin to Fahrenheit?
Kelvin and degrees Fahrenheit use different zero points, so you cannot convert them with a single multiplication. Apply the formula °F = K × 9/5 − 459.67 instead.
