About this calculator

Convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin using the formula K = (F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15. This two-step conversion first translates to Celsius, then shifts to the absolute Kelvin scale used in physics and chemistry.

Common examples

  • 32°F = 273.15 K — freezing point of water
  • 212°F = 373.15 K — boiling point of water
  • -459.67°F = 0 K — absolute zero
  • 72°F = 295.37 K — room temperature
  • 98.6°F = 310.15 K — body temperature
