Mass is in kilograms - weight is different. Say if someone says they weigh 50 kilograms this is wrong - their mass is 50 kilograms. You multiply their mass by the force of gravity (around 9.8 Newtons on Earth although we'll round it to 10) so each kilogram has a weight of 10 Newtons (even though it is 9.8, we are rounding). So you simply multiply 50 by 10 to obtain 500 Newtons.
So mass is measured in kilograms and not to be confused with weight.
