SponsoredThis mile converter shows a distance in miles next to kilometers, meters, centimeters, millimeters, yards, feet, inches and nautical miles. Type into any box and the rest update as you type.
The mile used on US and UK roads is the statute mile, exactly 5,280 feet or 1,609.344 meters. The nautical mile used at sea and in the air is a different, longer unit of 1,852 meters, so this converter keeps the two in separate boxes. One statute mile is about 0.869 nautical miles.
Every factor is exact, from the official definitions published by NIST. Lengths cannot be negative, so a negative entry clears the other boxes instead of showing a negative distance.
Mile Conversion Chart
Common distances in miles converted to kilometers, feet, yards and nautical miles, rounded to four decimal places.

How Many Feet in a Mile
There are exactly 5,280 feet in a mile. NIST Handbook 44 defines the mile as 5,280 feet, 8 furlongs or 320 rods, and the international foot as exactly 0.3048 meters. To convert miles to feet, multiply by 5,280: half a mile is 2,640 feet.
How Many Yards in a Mile
A mile is exactly 1,760 yards, because a yard is 3 feet and 5,280 / 3 = 1,760. A quarter mile is 440 yards and half a mile is 880 yards.
How Many Meters in a Mile
A mile is exactly 1,609.344 meters. Runners often round this to 1,600 m, but the two are not the same race: the 1,600 m is about 9.3 meters short of a mile.
Furlongs in a Mile
A mile has exactly 8 furlongs, and a furlong is 660 feet or 220 yards. The furlong survives mainly in horse racing, where race lengths are still called in furlongs.
Nautical Mile vs Mile
A nautical mile is exactly 1,852 meters, about 1.1508 statute miles. It is based on one minute of latitude, which is why ships and aircraft use it for navigation, and a speed of one nautical mile per hour is a knot, as NOAA explains. The international nautical mile was adopted at a hydrographic conference in Monaco in 1929 and in the United States on July 1, 1954.
For boat and aircraft speeds, the Knots to MPH Converter turns knots into miles per hour, and the Nautical Mile Calculator works out sea distance from speed and time. Runners converting a race distance can check their split times with the Pace Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a statute mile?
The statute mile is the ordinary land mile of 5,280 feet, used on US and UK roads. The name separates it from the nautical mile of 1,852 meters used at sea and in the air.
How many inches are in a mile?
There are exactly 63,360 inches in a mile: 5,280 feet times 12 inches per foot.
Is a UK mile the same as a US mile?
Yes. Both countries use the same statute mile of 5,280 feet, based on the international foot of exactly 0.3048 meters.
Why is the nautical mile a separate box?
The nautical mile is a different unit, 1,852 meters, so it gets its own box. Type a value there to convert sea or air distances to statute miles and kilometers.
Can I type into a box other than miles?
Yes. Every box is an input. Type kilometers, feet or nautical miles and the miles box and the rest update.
