Everyday figures, converted.

Free everyday converters: oven temperature with gas marks and fan settings, shoe sizes for men, women and kids, and Roman numerals. Worked out in your browser, with the working shown.

For a gas mark, type 1/4, 1/2 or a number from 1 to 9.

A fan-forced oven is set lower than a conventional oven for the same recipe. 20 °C is the usual figure (Which?) and 25 °F the usual US rule of thumb. Both are editorial rules of thumb, and 20 °C is 36 °F, so they are not the same size. Many ovens adjust automatically. Check your manual.

180 °C × 9 ÷ 5 + 32 = 356 °F. The dial value is rounded to the nearest 10 °C or 25 °F.

Ovens vary, so use an oven thermometer to check.

How Convertfig works

Every converter shows its working, so you can see how each answer was reached and check it by hand. Charts and offsets, such as gas marks and shoe size systems, come from named published sources, linked on the page with the date we last checked them. Where sources disagree we say so, and where a rule is our own, such as the temperature adjustment for ovens with a fan or the foot allowance for shoes, it is labelled as an editorial rule of thumb you can change. Everything is calculated in your browser, and nothing you type is sent to us.

There are separate US, UK and Australian versions because wording and date order differ. Spotted an error? Email hello@convertfig.com and we will check it against the source and correct the page.
