- Page id: `celsius-to-kelvin` · Quantity: Temperature (`temperature`, base unit K) · Tool: `convert_units`
- Canonical page: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/celsius-to-kelvin · This document: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/celsius-to-kelvin.md · JSON: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/celsius-to-kelvin.json (add `?value=` for a result)

## Formula

- `K = °C + 273.15`
- `K = °C + 273.15`
- Reverse: `°C = K − 273.15`

Non-linear conversion: apply the formula directly; there is no single multiplication factor.

## Worked examples

- 37 °C = 310.15 K
- 100 °C = 373.15 K
- -40 °C = 233.15 K

## FAQ

**What is the formula to convert degrees Celsius to kelvin?**

K = °C + 273.15. For example, 37 °C = 310.15 K.

**How do I convert kelvin back to degrees Celsius?**

°C = K − 273.15; the kelvin-to-degrees Celsius page applies it directly.

**Why is there no single multiplication factor?**

Temperature scales have different zero points, so the conversion is an affine formula (scale and offset), not a plain multiplication.
