Torque Converter
Convert torque between newton-metres, foot-pounds, and more.
Twisting force in any unit
Torque — the rotational equivalent of force — appears in newton-metres, foot-pounds, and more depending on the country and tool. Mixing them up can over- or under-tighten a fastener.
A wrench specced at 100 newton-metres is about 73.8 foot-pounds. This converter moves between the common torque units precisely, so your torque wrench and the spec agree.

Frequently Asked Questions
What units does it cover?
Newton-metres, foot-pounds, inch-pounds, and kilogram-force metres — the units used in engineering and on torque wrenches.
Why convert torque?
Specifications and tools often use different units, so a bolt torqued to a foot-pound figure may need converting to newton-metres.
Is it exact?
Yes. It uses precise conversion factors, so the result is accurate to many decimal places.
