How does this calculator work?
Multiply feet by 0.3048 for meters, by 12 for inches, by 30.48 for centimeters, by 304.8 for millimeters, and by 1/3 for yards. All factors are exact — 1 ft = 0.3048 m by international definition since 1959. Enter feet and pick a unit to see the full reference table.
Formula
How this is calculated
The international foot has been defined as exactly 0.3048 meters since 1959, making all conversions from feet to metric units exact. One foot equals 12 inches (the inch is exactly 2.54 cm), 30.48 centimeters, 304.8 millimeters, and one-third of a yard. These are definitions — not measurements — so no rounding error enters the calculation until the result is displayed.
To convert feet to miles, divide by 5,280 (the number of feet in a statute mile, itself exactly defined). Kilometers are feet × 0.0003048. Nautical miles use the international nautical mile of exactly 1,852 meters, so 1 foot ÷ 1852 × 0.3048 ≈ 0.000164579 nautical miles. The reference table always shows inches, centimeters, meters, millimeters, and yards simultaneously so you can compare across both metric and US customary systems.
The number line shows the input on a 0–100 ft scale to give an intuitive sense of magnitude. For inputs beyond 100 ft the numeric table is still exact — only the visual scale is omitted.
Frequently asked questions
There are approximately 3.28084 feet in one meter — or exactly 1 ÷ 0.3048 = 3.2808399... ft/m. To convert meters to feet, multiply by 3.28084.
There are exactly 30.48 centimeters in one foot, since 1 foot = 12 inches and 1 inch = 2.54 cm, so 12 × 2.54 = 30.48 cm.
6 feet × 0.3048 = 1.8288 meters, often rounded to 1.83 m or 183 cm. This is a common height conversion since 6 ft is a widely cited reference for tall adults.
