About these units
Newtons (N): The newton is the SI unit of force: the force that accelerates 1 kg by 1 m/s².
Kilogram-forces (kgf): A kilogram-force is the weight of 1 kg in standard gravity: exactly 9.80665 newtons.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilogram-forces are in 1 newton?
1 newton equals 0.1019716213 kilogram-forces (kgf).
How do I convert N to kgf?
Multiply the value in newtons by 0.1019716213. For example, 5 N × 0.1019716213 = 0.5098581065 kgf.
How do I convert kilogram-forces back to newtons?
Multiply by 9.80665 (or divide by 0.1019716213). 1 kgf = 9.80665 N.
What is a newton?
The newton is the SI unit of force: the force that accelerates 1 kg by 1 m/s².
Conversion factors come from exact international definitions (NIST SP 811, BIPM) where they exist. Results show up to 10 significant digits. Need every force unit at once? Use the Force Converter.
