Convert kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit
Convert kelvins (K) to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) with the formula °F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32.
Kelvin to Fahrenheit formula
°F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32
Use the formula °F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32.
Example: To convert 0 K to degrees Fahrenheit: (0 − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 = -459.67 °F.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert kelvins to degrees Fahrenheit?
Use the formula °F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32. To convert 0 K to degrees Fahrenheit: (0 − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 = -459.67 °F.
Is the Kelvin to Fahrenheit conversion exact?
Yes. The formula follows directly from how the temperature scales are defined, so it is exact; results are rounded for display.
Can a temperature in kelvin be negative?
No. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, 0 K (−273.15 °C or −459.67 °F), the lowest possible temperature, so kelvin values are never negative.
What is 0 K in degrees Fahrenheit?
0 K = -459.67 °F.
How do I convert degrees Fahrenheit back to kelvins?
Use the formula K = (°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15. The Fahrenheit to Kelvin page has a converter and a full table.
