1. Formula: K = °C + 273.15
2. Put in the value: 30 degrees Celsius.
3. Result: 303.15 kelvins.

Degrees Celsius to kelvins table

Converting the other way: kelvins to degrees Celsius

°C = K − 273.15. So 303.15 kelvins is back to 30 degrees Celsius; one kelvin is -272.15 degrees Celsius. See the kelvins to degrees Celsius table.

Quick estimate in your head

Kelvin and Celsius degrees are the same size, so only the offset of 273.15 matters: add it going to kelvin, take it away going to Celsius.

Common mistakes

Multiplying without the offset is the usual slip: 0 °C is 32 °F, not 0 °F. Do the subtraction or addition in the right order, as in the formula above.

About the units

Degree Celsius (c) and kelvin (k) are both units of temperature. Temperature scales have different zero points, so converting needs an offset as well as a multiplication. Results on this page are rounded for display; the conversion itself uses the exact definitions.

Temperature conversions come up in weather forecasts, cooking and oven settings, body temperature and science classes.
