Feet to Inches Calculator
Convert any measurement in feet to inches, including fractional inches rounded to the nearest 1/16 of an inch. The calculator also shows the metric equivalent in centimeters and meters.
Feet and inches are the backbone of the imperial measurement system used in the United States. The conversion is simple: 1 foot = 12 inches. But when you're working with decimal feet (like 5.75 ft from a laser measure), breaking that into usable feet-and-inches can be handy.
Formula: Inches = Feet x 12
