How to convert degrees Celsius to kelvins
- Formula:
K = °C + 273.15 - Put in the value: 4 degrees Celsius.
- Result: 277.15 kelvins.
Degrees Celsius to kelvins table
| degrees Celsius | kelvins |
|---|---|
| 1 c | 274.15 k |
| 2 c | 275.15 k |
| 4 c | 277.15 k |
| 5 c | 278.15 k |
| 10 c | 283.15 k |
| 20 c | 293.15 k |
| 50 c | 323.15 k |
| 100 c | 373.15 k |

Converting the other way: kelvins to degrees Celsius
°C = K − 273.15. So 277.15 kelvins is back to 4 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.

Questions
How many kelvins are in 4 degrees Celsius?
277.15 kelvins.
What is the formula to convert degrees Celsius to kelvins?
K = °C + 273.15
How many kelvins are in one degree Celsius?
One degree Celsius is 274.15 kelvins, but temperature scales have different zero points, so you cannot simply multiply by this number.
Is 4 c more than 4 k?
Yes. 4 degrees Celsius is 277.15 kelvins, which is more than 4 kelvins.
How do I convert degrees Celsius to kelvins in a spreadsheet?
Put the temperature in A1 and type =A1+273.15 in the next cell. Fill the formula down to convert a whole column.
