Convert Kilograms to US tons
1 kilogram is 0.001102 ton. One kilogram is exactly 0.00110231131092 US tons.
One kilogram is 0.0011023113 US tons. To convert kilograms to US tons, multiply by 0.0011023113; to go the other way, divide by 0.0011023113 or multiply by 907.18474. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 44. The SI base unit of mass, defined since 2019 by fixing the Planck constant rather than by a metal cylinder in Paris.

How do you convert kilograms to US tons? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in kilograms.
- 2.Multiply by 0.0011023113 — that is how many US tons fit in one kilogram.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 0.0011023113, or multiply by 907.18474.
Worked example: 25 kilograms to US tons
- Formula
- kg × 0.0011023113 = ton
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 0.0011023113 = 0.03 ton
- Answer
- 25 kg = 0.03 ton
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

Which ton?
This page uses the US short ton of exactly 2,000 pounds — 907.18474 kg. A metric tonne is 1,000 kg and a British long ton is 1,016.05 kg. In shipping and emissions reporting the metric tonne is nearly always meant, whatever the spelling on the document.

What is a kilogram?
The SI base unit of mass, defined since 2019 by fixing the Planck constant rather than by a metal cylinder in Paris.
What is a US ton?
The short ton: 2,000 pounds. A metric tonne is about 10% heavier and a British long ton about 12%.
How many US tons are in a kilogram?
One kilogram is 0.0011023113 US tons. Going the other way, one US ton is 907.18474 kilograms. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
