Unit Conversion calculators
This calculator converts feet to inches, a conversion that comes up constantly for height, furniture, and construction measurements. Enter any value in feet (ft) and get an exact result in inches (in), using the real conversion factor: 1 foot equals 12 inches.
For example, 5 ft converts to 60 in. This is an exact mathematical conversion, not an approximation.
This tool handles one value at a time and always uses the standard modern definition of both units, not a historical or regional variant. If you need to convert several feet measurements in a row, or want to see feet alongside all the other common length units at once, the Length Converter hub linked below is generally the faster tool for that.
How to convert feet to inches
Multiply the feet value by 12 to get inches. For example, 5 ft × 12 = 60 in.
To go the other way, from inches back to feet, divide by 12 instead. For example, 60 in ÷ 12 = 5 ft.
| Feet | Inches |
|---|---|
| 1 ft | 12 in |
| 3 ft | 36 in |
| 4 ft | 48 in |
| 6 ft | 72 in |
Real-world uses of feet to inches conversions
Feet, inches, and yards are the everyday units for describing a person's height, a room's dimensions, or a piece of furniture in the US and the handful of other countries that still use imperial measurements day to day. Carpenters, contractors, and DIY projects lean on this conversion constantly too, since lumber and tape measures are marked in feet and inches, but a cut list or a materials calculation often needs a single unit to work with.
- Describing a person's height (5 feet 10 inches, for example)
- Reading a tape measure or blueprint on a construction site
- Buying or building furniture sized in feet and inches
- Setting up sports equipment like a basketball hoop or a football field marker
Is ft to in the same as feet to inches?
