Feet & Inches to Meters Converter

Convert imperial feet and inches to metric meters with live calculation and step-by-step conversion working.

How to use it

  • Enter feet and inches to calculate meters.

Examples

This combines feet and inches into total inches (feet × 12 + inches), then converts to meters using the exact relationship 1 inch = 0.0254 m. The result is precise to four decimal places, which is the resolution most metric height and measurement fields expect.

5 ft 11 in = 71 inches. 71 × 0.0254 = 1.8034 m.
