Welcome to The Conversion Guides

Converting inch-pounds (in·lb) to foot-pounds (ft·lb) is one of the most common tasks for mechanics, engineers, and DIY enthusiasts who work with torque specifications. Whether you are tightening lug nuts on a car, calibrating a torque wrench, or following a machine assembly manual, getting the torque value right is critical. This page brings all inch-pounds to foot-pounds conversion guides together in one place, so you never have to search across multiple pages.

Every torque spec uses a different unit depending on the tool and application. A small engine bolt may be listed in inch-pounds, while a wheel hub spec is given in foot-pounds. One foot-pound always equals 12 inch-pounds — but knowing the formula is only part of the picture. Our guides cover the most commonly searched torque values, including 200 in·lb, 500 in·lb, 1500 in·lb, and many more. Each guide explains the math, gives real-world use cases, and helps you apply the right torque safely and accurately.

⚡ The Core Formula
1 ft·lb = 12 in·lb
Divide inch-pounds by 12 to get foot-pounds. Multiply foot-pounds by 12 to get inch-pounds.
in·lb ÷ 12 = ft·lb ft·lb × 12 = in·lb 1200 in·lb = 100 ft·lb 1800 in·lb = 150 ft·lb 2000 in·lb = 166.67 ft·lb
