Mathematical Facts
Convert stone to pennyweight with the formula below. dwt ≈ st × 4,083.33333333. 1 st ≈ 6.35029318 kg; 1 dwt ≈ 0.00155517384 kg A stone is a mass unit of 14 avoirdupois pounds. The result here is decimal stone, not a separate stone-and-pound pair. A pennyweight, symbol dwt, is a troy mass unit of 24 grains. Its name does not give the mass of a present-day coin.
Why This Conversion Matters
This pair is useful when a mass record uses stone and another record uses a different unit. Convert mixed stone-and-pound notation before entering a decimal value. Exact unit relationships: 1 st = 14 lb; 1 dwt = 24 gr. The calculator uses the full stored factor and rounds displayed results to 12 significant digits. Display precision is not a guarantee of measurement accuracy.
Real-World Examples
Decimal and mixed stone notation

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Reading 2.5 st as 2 st 5 lb
Half a stone is 7 lb, so 2.5 st equals 35 lb; 2 st 5 lb equals 33 lb. The notation error changes the mass by 2 lb.
✓ For input, add pounds ÷ 14 to whole stones. For output, multiply the fractional stone by 14 to recover pounds. 2.5 st ≈ 10,208.3333333 dwt.
Pro Tips
- ✓For mixed notation, multiply the fractional stone by 14: 2.5 st means 2 st 7 lb.
- ✓Keep dwt as the unit label; 20 dwt make one troy ounce, not one avoirdupois ounce.
- ✓For input, add pounds ÷ 14 to whole stones. For output, multiply the fractional stone by 14 to recover pounds.
