Conversion Formula
To convert pounds (lb) to newtons (N), multiply the pound value by 4.44822. The formula is: N = lb × 4.44822. This works because 1 lbf (pound-force) equals exactly 4.44822 N, a standard conversion factor based on Earth’s gravity.
For example, converting 100 lb: 100 × 4.44822 = 444.822 N. This step-by-step multiplication gives an exact force in Newtons corresponding to the pound weight.
Conversion Example
- Convert 150 lb to N:
- Multiply 150 by 4.44822
- 150 × 4.44822 = 667.233 N
- Convert 50 lb to N:
- Multiply 50 by 4.44822
- 50 × 4.44822 = 222.411 N
- Convert 300 lb to N:
- Multiply 300 by 4.44822
- 300 × 4.44822 = 1334.466 N

Conversion Definitions
lb
The pound (lb) is a unit of force or weight measurement based on the imperial system, defined as the force exerted by gravity on one pound-mass at Earth’s surface, equivalent to approximately 4.44822 Newtons.
newton
The Newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared, making it a standard measure of force in physics and engineering.
Conversion FAQs
Why is 1 lb equal to 4.44822 N?
This conversion is based on Earth’s gravity, where 1 pound-force (lbf) is the force exerted by gravity on a pound-mass. Since Earth’s gravity is about 9.80665 m/s², multiplying the mass in pounds by this factor gives the force in Newtons, resulting in 4.44822 N.
Can I use a simple multiplication to convert pounds to Newtons?
Yes, multiplying the number of pounds by 4.44822 gives the force in Newtons directly, because 1 lb-force equals exactly 4.44822 N. This straightforward calculation is accurate for converting weight from imperial to SI units.
How does gravity affect the conversion from lb to N?
Gravity influences the conversion because pounds measure force under Earth’s gravity. If gravity were different, the conversion factor would change. The 4.44822 N per lb is based on Earth’s gravitational acceleration, making it specific to this context.
