About newton-meters and pound-feet

Torque specs appear in car and bike repair manuals and on torque wrenches, often in both N·m and lbf·ft.

This converter changes newton-meters (N·m) into pound-feet (lbf·ft) instantly. You can also type in the second box to convert backwards, or pick any other torque unit from the menus.

Formula

lbf·ft = N·m ÷ 1.355817948 1 N·m = 0.737562149 lbf·ft 1 lbf·ft = 1.355817948 N·m

Both units are defined in newton-metres: 1 newton-meter = 1 newton-metre, and 1 pound-foot = 1.355817948331 newton-metre. Dividing one by the other gives the factor above.

Worked example

To convert 12 N·m: 12 × 0.737562149 = 8.850746 lbf·ft.

Notes and assumptions

Results use exact defined factors and are rounded only for display (up to 6 significant digits, or the decimals you choose).
