Feet to Inches Converter [Inches to Feet Chart]

To convert feet to inches, multiply by 12; to convert inches to feet, divide by 12. One foot is exactly 12 inches, so 2 feet is 24 inches, 5.5 feet is 66 inches and 3 inches is 0.25 ft. The converter above takes decimal feet (5.5), feet plus inches (5 ft 10 in) or plain inches, and shows the answer in inches, decimal feet, feet and inches, yards, centimeters and meters.

It is meant for everyday measuring in US units: heights, room and furniture sizes, lumber lengths, TV stands, curtain drops and homework. If you work from plans or survey numbers in decimal feet and need tape-measure fractions such as 7 3/16 in, the decimal feet to feet and inches converter is built for that rounding job. This page focuses on the whole-unit conversion both ways and on height.

How to convert feet to inches

Take the length in feet, for example 5.5 ft.
Multiply by 12: 5.5 × 12 = 66 in.
If you also have inches, add them: 5 ft 6 in = 5 × 12 + 6 = 66 in.
To go back, divide by 12. The whole number is the feet; the remainder is the inches: 66 ÷ 12 = 5 remainder 6, so 5 ft 6 in.

The formula is inches = feet × 12 and feet = inches ÷ 12. NIST Handbook 44, Appendix C, defines 1 foot as 12 inches (exactly) and 0.3048 meter (exactly), and 1 inch as 2.54 centimeters (exactly). Since January 1, 2023 the international foot is the only foot NIST recognizes for new work; the older U.S. survey foot is kept only for legacy survey data, and at 0.3048006 m it differs from the international foot by about 2 parts per million, far too little to matter for any household measurement.

One foot in inches

1 foot = 12 inches, which is 30.48 cm or 0.3048 m. Searches like "one feet inches" and "1 fit how many inch" ask the same thing; the answer is always 12, because NIST Handbook 44 sets 1 foot = 12 inches exactly. Half a foot is 6 inches, a quarter foot is 3 inches and three quarters of a foot is 9 inches.

2 feet to inches

2 ft = 24 in (60.96 cm). 2.5 ft is 30 in and 3 ft, one yard, is 36 in.

5.5 feet to inches

5.5 ft = 66 inches = 5 ft 6 in, or 167.64 cm. The .5 is half a foot, which is 6 inches, so 5.5 ft is five and a half feet, written 5′ 6″.

5.10 feet to inches (and why it is not 5′10″)

5.10 ft = 61.2 inches, about 5 ft 1 1/4 in. It is an easy mix-up on forms and in spreadsheets. The decimal point in 5.10 means tenths of a foot: 0.10 ft is 1.2 inches. Five feet ten inches is written 5′ 10″ and equals 70 inches, which is 5.8333 ft in decimal. The gap between the two readings is 8.8 inches, about 22 cm. If a form asks for height in feet as a decimal, 5′ 10″ should be entered as 5.83, not 5.10. The converter's "feet + inches" mode avoids the problem by taking feet and inches in separate boxes.

3 inches to feet

3 in = 0.25 ft, a quarter of a foot. 6 inches is 0.5 ft, 9 inches is 0.75 ft and 18 inches is 1.5 ft.

Converting inches to feet and inches

A measurement such as 77 inches is easier to picture as feet and inches. Divide by 12 and keep the remainder: 77 ÷ 12 = 6 remainder 5, so 6 ft 5 in. As a decimal it is 6.4167 ft. For a long run such as 150 inches: 150 ÷ 12 = 12 remainder 6, so 12 ft 6 in (12.5 ft). Remainders are always 0 to 11 inches; if you get 12, add one to the feet.

Decimal feet and feet-and-inches

Every tenth of a foot is 1.2 inches, so decimal feet rarely land on a whole inch. The table shows the common parts of a foot. To turn any decimal foot into inches, multiply only the part after the point by 12: 6.35 ft → 0.35 × 12 = 4.2 in, so 6 ft 4 1/4 in to the nearest quarter inch.

0.1 ft	1.2 in

0.25 ft	3 in
0.3 ft	3.6 in
0.4 ft	4.8 in

Common mistakes

Treating the decimal as inches. 6.5 ft is 6 ft 6 in, but 6.3 ft is 6 ft 3.6 in, not 6 ft 3 in.
Dividing by 10. There are 12 inches in a foot, not 10. 30 inches is 2.5 ft, not 3 ft.
Mixing up the prime marks. ′ (or ') is feet and ″ (or ") is inches. 6′ is 72 inches; 6″ is half a foot.
Forgetting the feet when adding. 5 ft 10 in + 4 in = 5 ft 14 in = 6 ft 2 in. Convert to inches, add, then convert back.
Area and volume. 1 square foot is 144 square inches (12 × 12), not 12. For room areas use the flooring calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How many inches are in one foot?

One foot is exactly 12 inches. NIST Handbook 44 lists 1 foot = 12 inches (exactly).

1 fit how many inch?

1 foot (often typed "1 fit" or "1 feet") equals 12 inches, or 30.48 cm.

How many inches is 5.5 feet?

5.5 ft × 12 = 66 inches, which is 5 ft 6 in.

How many inches is 2 feet?

2 feet = 24 inches (60.96 cm).

What is 3 inches in feet?

3 in ÷ 12 = 0.25 ft, a quarter of a foot.

Is 5.10 feet the same as 5 feet 10 inches?
