Celsius to Kelvin Converter
Convert degrees Celsius (°C) to kelvins (K) instantly. Type a value — the result updates as you type, and the swap button converts the other way.
Celsius to Kelvin formula
K = °C + 273.15
To convert degrees Celsius to kelvins, apply the formula K = °C + 273.15. For example, 25 °C:
K = 25 + 273.15K = 298.15
So 25 °C = 298.15 K.
Mental math shortcut
This conversion is exact, so there is no need to estimate: just add or subtract 273.15.

About the units
Celsius (°C)
The Celsius scale sets the freezing point of water at 0 °C and its boiling point at 100 °C (at sea level). It is used for everyday temperatures in almost every country.
Kelvin (K)
The kelvin is the SI unit of temperature. It starts at absolute zero (0 K = −273.15 °C) and uses degrees the same size as Celsius, so it never goes negative.
