Short Tons to Kilograms
A short ton is 2,000 pounds, about 907 kilograms, the standard ton used in the US for freight and bulk materials. The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, defined today by the fixed value of the Planck constant. 1 tn equals ≈907.185 kg, so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to mass, measured here against mass's base unit (kg) — every other mass unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
kg = tn × ≈907.185
tn = kg × ≈0.00110231
Worked example: 5 tn × ≈907.185 = ≈4,535.92 kg.
