How to use this calculator
- Enter a torque in newton-metres (N·m).
- Read the equivalents.
How it works
1 N·m ≈ 0.7376 lb·ft ≈ 8.851 lb·in ≈ 0.10197 kgf·m.
Worked example
100 N·m. ≈ 73.76 lb·ft.
Common mistakes
- Confusing pound-feet (lb·ft) with pound-inches (lb·in) — they differ by 12×.
- Mixing up torque with energy (both use the unit N·m / joule but mean different things).
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert torque units?
1 newton-metre ≈ 0.738 pound-feet, and 1 lb-ft ≈ 1.356 Nm. The tool converts between Nm, lb-ft, lb-in and kgf-m.
Is torque the same as energy?
No — both can read in newton-metres, but torque is a twisting force and energy is work done; they are physically different quantities.
Is N·m the same as a joule?
Dimensionally yes, but torque and energy are different quantities — torque is force times lever arm, not work done.
