🏋️ Pounds and Ounces Calculator
Add or subtract two weights given in pounds and ounces, and see the result converted into kilograms and grams.
Working with pounds and ounces
Weights in the US customary system are often written as a combination of pounds and ounces, such as a package weighing 8 pounds 6 ounces. Adding or subtracting these by hand requires carrying between the two units since there are 16 ounces in a pound.
How this calculator works
Enter two weights in pounds and ounces, choose whether to add or subtract them, and the calculator converts both to total ounces, performs the operation, then converts the result back into pounds and remaining ounces. It also displays the total in kilograms and grams.
This tool is handy for shipping, cooking, newborn weight tracking, and any situation involving mixed pound-and-ounce measurements. For official or medical purposes, always confirm with a calibrated scale.
