Torque Converter

Converts a torque value between newton-metres, foot-pounds, inch-pounds and kgf.m by converting to N.m and back. Enter 10 with From = N.m and To = ft.lb to get 7.375621.

What this calculator does

The Torque Converter estimates your result instantly from the values you enter, using standard science & engineering formulas. Converts a torque value between newton-metres, foot-pounds, inch-pounds and kgf.m by converting to N.m and back. Enter 10 with From = N.m and To = ft.lb to get 7.375621. Calculations run in your browser, so nothing you type is sent to a server, and the output is an estimate rather than a certified or official figure.

About Torque Converter

This converter handles torque across four units — newton-metre (N·m), foot-pound (ft·lb), inch-pound (in·lb) and kgf·m. It converts your value to newton-metres internally, then into the target unit. Choose the From and To units and enter the torque.

Formula & Mathematical Calculation

Converted Value = f(Torque value, From, To)

Calculated according to standard science formulas implemented in the calculator core.

Calculation Example

Enter 10, set From to Newton-meter (N·m) and To to Foot-pound (ft·lb). The tool converts 10 N·m to N·m (factor 1) then divides by 1.35581795. The Converted Value box shows 7.375621, with the note 10 Nm = 7.375621 ftlb.

Key Benefits

  • Converts torque among newton-metre, foot-pound, inch-pound and kgf.m
  • Lets you choose any From and To unit combination
  • Uses N.m as the common base for a consistent two-step conversion
  • Shows the converted value to six decimal places

How to Use this Calculator

  1. Enter the torque value
    Type the torque amount into the Torque value field.
  2. Choose the units
    Select the current unit in the From menu and the target unit in the To menu.
  3. Calculate
    Click Calculate to convert.
  4. Read the result
    The Converted Value box shows the torque in the target unit.

Assumptions & Limitations

What the calculation assumes

  • Every value you enter is treated as an exact, known amount.
  • Any rate or interval you enter is assumed to hold for the whole period unless the form asks for it separately.
  • Results use standard published formulas and account only for the values entered above.
  • Rounding is applied for display; the underlying calculation uses your full precision.
  • Results are returned in the same units you enter, unless the tool states the output unit.

What it does not cover

  • Torque Converter produces a calculated result for reference and learning, not a certified or official measurement.
  • Real-world outcomes differ when tolerances, rounding rules or local standards apply.
  • Definitions and standards vary by region and change over time; verify the convention that applies to your case.
  • Figures are only as accurate as the inputs you supply — check them before acting on the result.
  • For work where the result carries real consequences, confirm it against an authoritative source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Newton-metre, foot-pound, inch-pound and kgf.m, selectable in the From and To menus.

It multiplies your value by the From unit's N.m factor to get newton-metres, then divides by the To unit's factor.

1 kgf.m equals 9.80665 N.m in this tool.

The value is unchanged apart from rounding, since it converts to N.m and back using the same factor.
