Torque Conversion
Convert torque between newton-meters and other units.
About Torque Conversion
The input torque is first converted to newton-meters, then scaled to foot-pounds, inch-pounds and kilogram-force meters using fixed conversion factors. Torque wrenches and specs use different units across regions, so converting correctly protects fasteners, especially on vehicles and machinery.
Formula
Torque Conversion
Convert any torque unit to newton-meters, then to each other unit
- torque
- A turning or twisting force
Worked example
With the default values below, Torque Conversion returns In Newton-meters of 50.00. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Torque Conversion calculated?
Convert any torque unit to newton-meters, then to each other unit The input torque is first converted to newton-meters, then scaled to foot-pounds, inch-pounds and kilogram-force meters using fixed conversion factors.
Why does Torque Conversion matter?
Torque wrenches and specs use different units across regions, so converting correctly protects fasteners, especially on vehicles and machinery.
What values do I need to enter?
This calculator takes 2 inputs: Torque value, From unit. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic starting point — replace them with figures from your own environment for a result you can act on.
