How to convert Celsius to Kelvin
Celsius and Kelvin are related by a formula rather than a single factor. Temperature conversions are needed for weather, cooking, science and travel. Temperature scales have different zero points, so conversions use offsets as well as ratios.

Frequently asked questions
How many Kelvin are in one celsius?
274.15 K corresponds to 1 °C. Because this scale uses an offset or an inverse relationship, there is no single multiplication factor — use the formula above.
How do I convert Celsius to Kelvin?
Apply the formula shown on this page, or enter your value in the converter for an instant exact answer.
What is 37 °C in K?
37 °C = 310.15 K. Also, 0 °C = 273.15 K and 100 °C = 373.15 K.
What is the difference between a celsius and a kelvin?
Celsius sets water freezing at 0 °C and boiling at 100 °C at sea level. Kelvin is the SI temperature scale starting at absolute zero; 0 K = −273.15 °C.
