Unit Converter

About This Tool

The converter provides a cross-domain calculation engine for units, currencies, and time zones. It accepts value, source unit or currency, and target unit or currency, plus optional locale and precision. It supports standard SI and common non-SI units, major currencies via FX feeds, and timezone conversions by IANA identifiers. Output is a numeric result accompanied by a formatted string when requested.
Algorithms & Calculations: Units map to a canonical base (meters, kilograms, seconds) and apply multiplicative factors. Currencies apply FX rates from reputable data feeds with periodic updates. Time zones adjust using IANA offsets and daylight-saving rules. Temperature conversions use standard C/F/K formulas, while other domain conversions rely on direct factors. Rounding follows the configured precision.
Error & Edge Cases: Missing inputs, unknown units, or unavailable FX data produce precise errors. Incompatible domain pairs are rejected. Extremely large or small values trigger overflow/underflow handling. Locale or formatting misconfigurations default to a safe setting.
Industry/Region & Localization: Uses ISO currency codes, SI units, and IANA time zones. Locale support controls decimal separators and digit grouping. Currency formatting includes symbol and code; units adapt to metric or imperial standards based on region.
Assumptions & Exclusions: FX data is updated regularly but not guaranteed to be real-time. No financial advice is implied. Offline mode relies on cached rates when online data is unavailable. Proprietary or rarely used units are outside the current scope.
