This calculator is necessary to avoid confusion in global trade and supply chains. Most of the world prices goods at $/kg. But the US market uses $/lb. Without this calculation, comparing prices across borders is misleading.
While the exporters quote prices in $/kg, the US buyers often think in terms of $/lb because lb (pound) is the most popular weight measurement base in the US.
In short, this calculator avoids costly mistakes in international trade.
USD per Pound = USD per Kilogram / 2.20462
USD per Pound = 12 / 2.20462 = 5.45 ($5.45 per lb)
