Fahrenheit to Celsius – Convert °F to °C Instantly
This Fahrenheit to Celsius Calculator allows you to quickly convert any temperature from degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Celsius (°C). Whether you are traveling, studying science, cooking, or reading global weather reports, this tool provides fast and accurate temperature conversions in just one click.
The Fahrenheit scale is widely used in the United States, while Celsius is used almost everywhere else. This calculator makes converting between the two simple and reliable—no complicated formulas required.
How the Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion Works
The standard formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius is:Celsius=(Fahrenheit−32)×95
Example:
If the temperature is 98.6°F:(98.6−32)×95=37°C
This calculator uses the same precise formula for instant, accurate results.

The converted temperature appears to two decimal places for clarity.
Example Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversions
✔ Example 1
32°F → (32 − 32) × 5/9 = 0°C
✔ Example 2
212°F → (212 − 32) × 5/9 = 100°C
✔ Example 3
68°F → (68 − 32) × 5/9 = 20°C
✔ Example 4
98.6°F → 37°C
✔ Example 5
0°F → (0 − 32) × 5/9 = −17.78°C
These examples are commonly used in weather reports, science classes, and cooking.
