📖 About Ft to M
Distance Metrology & NIST SP 811 Standards
Under the International Yard and Pound Agreement of 1959, 1 international foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters (304.8 mm).
Primary Length Multipliers
- 1 Foot (ft): 0.3048 Meters = 30.48 cm = 12 in = (1) / (3) yd
- 1 Meter (m): = (1) / (0.3048) ft ≈ 3.280839895 Feet = 39.3700787 Inches
- Feet to Meters Formula: Meters = Feet × 0.3048
- Meters to Feet Formula: Feet = Meters0.3048
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Length / Distance to Convert (e.g. 100.0) and Conversion Direction — choose from Feet to Meters (ft → m / multiply by 0.3048), Meters to Feet (m → ft / divide by 0.3048). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.

Worked Example
A 100-foot commercial building elevation corresponds to exactly 30.48 meters (33.33 yards) above street level.
Understanding Your Result
Unit conversion precision: round to the same number of significant figures as your original measurement. Converting 6 feet to meters gives 1.8288 m — but if your measurement was approximate (±1 inch), expressing more than 2 decimal places is false precision. For international trade and technical specifications, SI units (meters, kilograms, liters) are the standard. US customary units (feet, pounds, gallons) differ from Imperial UK units: 1 US gallon = 3.785 L vs. 1 UK gallon = 4.546 L.
