The ×2.2 shortcut — and when not to use it

Doubling kilograms and adding 10% (×2.2) is a fine mental estimate, but it runs slightly low — about half a pound off at 100 kg. That's harmless for chat, and meaningful for airline baggage allowances, shipping rates, gym plates loaded in mixed units, and any medical context. This tool always applies the full-precision factor and shows four decimals so you can round to whatever the situation needs.
