BTU to Watts Conversion: Simple Calculator & Tables

Handy BTU↔Watts conversions for planning and comparing radiator outputs. Includes formulas, quick tables and ΔT notes.

How to convert BTU to Watts

It’s useful to convert BTU ↔ Watts to compare specs and size correctly. Keep comparisons at the same Delta T; Trade Radiators lists outputs at ΔT50. Use the calculator for room sizing, then convert units if needed.

How to convert

Watts = BTU × 0.29307107

BTU = Watts × 3.412141633

Tip: for quick estimates use 0.293 and 3.412. Round sensibly; choose the next size up if you’re between outputs.

BTU↔W is a pure unit change and does not depend on ΔT. Compare radiators at the same ΔT50.

ΔT quick note

Compare like‑for‑like at ΔT50. Rule of thumb: ΔT60 → ΔT50 ×0.79; ΔT50 → ΔT60 ×1.26. Learn more in the Delta T guide.
