This paper presents a table with estimates of the absolute magnitude of the Sun and the conversions from vegamag to the AB and ST systems for several wide-band filters used in ground-based and space-based observatories. These estimates use the dustless spectral energy distribution (SED) of Vega, calibrated absolutely using the SED of Sirius, to set the vegamag zero-points and a composite spectrum of the Sun that coadds space-based observations from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared with models of the Solar atmosphere. The uncertainty of the absolute magnitudes is estimated by comparing the synthetic colors with photometric measurements of solar analogs and is found to be similar to 0.02 mag. Combined with the uncertainty of similar to 2% in the calibration of the Vega SED, the errors of these absolute magnitudes are similar to 3%-4%. Using these SEDs, for three of the most utilized filters in extragalactic work the estimated absolute magnitudes of the Sun are M-B = 5.44, M-V = 4.81, and M-K = 3.27 mag in the vegamag system and M-B = 5.31, M-V = 4.80, and M-K = 5.08 mag in AB.
