Newton-metres to Pound-feet Converter N·m → lbf·ft
1 newton-metre (N·m) = 0.7375621493 pound-feet (lbf·ft). Type a value below — the conversion happens instantly, entirely on your device.
1 N·m = 0.7375621493 lbf·ft
100 newton-metres = 73.756215 pound-feet
100 × 0.737562 = 73.756215
1 N·m equals 0.737562 lbf·ft, so multiplying by 0.737562 converts the value. The result describes the exact same quantity — only the measuring stick changes.
How to convert newton-metres to pound-feet
pound-feet = newton-metres × 0.7375621493 — multiply the newton-metre value by 0.737562.
Example: 100 N·m = 73.7562 lbf·ft.
To convert the other way: newton-metres = pound-feet ÷ 0.7375621493 — or use the dedicated lbf·ft to N·m converter .
Newton-metres to pound-feet divides by about 1.3558: a 100 N·m spec is about 73.8 lbf·ft. This is the everyday conversion for torque wrenches, since manuals may give N·m while your wrench reads ft-lb (the same thing as lbf·ft).

About the units
What is a newton-metre?
The SI unit of torque — one newton of force at one metre from the axis. Engine and fastener torque is specified in N·m across most of the world.
What is a pound-foot?
A pound-foot is the torque of one pound-force at one foot — the US car-spec unit (often written "ft-lb"). One lbf·ft is about 1.3558 N·m.
Frequently asked questions
How many pound-feet are in 1 newton-metre?
1 newton-metre (N·m) = 0.7375621493 pound-feet (lbf·ft).
What is the formula to convert newton-metres to pound-feet?
pound-feet = newton-metres × 0.7375621493 — multiply the newton-metre value by 0.737562.
How do I convert N·m to lbf·ft without a calculator?
