Torque Converter

Convert between Newton-meters, foot-pounds, inch-pounds, and other torque units.

Our free Torque Converter lets you convert between Newton-meters, foot-pounds, inch-pounds, and other torque units. It is built for travelers, cooks, students, scientists, and anyone working across measurement systems who need fast, reliable results without installing software or creating an account.

Torque Converter runs entirely in your browser on CalculatorsPlus — enter your values, get instant results, and copy or share your output in one click. Your data never leaves your device; we do not store inputs on any server.

Switching between metric and imperial units is a daily need worldwide. The torque converter uses standard conversion factors so you get consistent results for recipes, travel, homework, and technical specifications.

Results update in real time as you change inputs, so you can explore "what if" scenarios — adjust one variable at a time to see how it affects the outcome before committing to a purchase, plan, or decision.

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • •Torque wrenches may read in Nm or ft-lb — set the correct unit.
  • •1 Nm ≈ 0.74 ft-lb for mental math.
  • •Do not confuse torque (Nm) with work (joules).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Nm to ft-lb?
Multiply Nm by 0.7376 to get ft-lb. Example: 100 Nm ≈ 73.8 ft-lb. Car torque specs use both depending on market.
What is inch-pound (in-lb)?
Smaller torque unit: 1 ft-lb = 12 in-lb. Common for small fasteners, bike components, and electronics assembly.
How is torque different from horsepower?
Torque is twisting force (Nm); horsepower combines torque and RPM. HP = (Torque × RPM) / 5252 for imperial units.
What torque for lug nuts?
Always use manufacturer spec (often 80–140 Nm / 60–100 ft-lb for cars). Never guess — undertorquing is dangerous.
