Formula

To convert kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit, use the formula °F = K × 9/5 − 459.67.

°F = K × 9/5 − 459.67

Example calculation

Convert 25 K to °F:

25 K → °F = K × 9/5 − 459.67 → -414.67 °F

Kelvin and Rankine start at absolute zero, so negative values are physically impossible.

About the units

Kelvin (K)
The SI base unit of temperature, with zero at absolute zero. Named after Lord Kelvin and used in physics and chemistry.
Degree Fahrenheit (°F)
Used for everyday temperatures in the US and a few other countries. Proposed by Daniel Fahrenheit in 1724; water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F.
