To convert feet to centimetres, multiply the number of feet by 30.48. The conversion is exact because one international foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 metres.
Centimetres = Feet × 30.48
For example, 10 feet × 30.48 = 304.8 cm. The calculator above performs the conversion and also displays the equivalent length in metres and inches.
| Feet | Centimetres | Metres | Inches |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ft | 30.48 cm | 0.3048 m | 12 in |
| 2 ft | 60.96 cm | 0.6096 m | 24 in |
| 3 ft | 91.44 cm | 0.9144 m | 36 in |
| 4 ft | 121.92 cm | 1.2192 m | 48 in |
| 5 ft | 152.40 cm | 1.5240 m | 60 in |
| 6 ft | 182.88 cm | 1.8288 m | 72 in |
| 10 ft | 304.80 cm | 3.0480 m | 120 in |
| 20 ft | 609.60 cm | 6.0960 m | 240 in |
One foot equals exactly 30.48 centimetres. This is not an approximation when using the international foot definition.
To reverse the conversion, divide centimetres by 30.48.
Feet = Centimetres ÷ 30.48
Mixed feet-and-inches measurements are common for height, construction dimensions, imported plans and product specifications. Convert the feet to inches, add the extra inches, then multiply total inches by 2.54.
Centimetres = (Feet × 12 + Inches) × 2.54
| Feet & Inches | Total Inches | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|
| 5 ft 0 in | 60 in | 152.40 cm |
| 5 ft 6 in | 66 in | 167.64 cm |
| 6 ft 0 in | 72 in | 182.88 cm |
| 6 ft 6 in | 78 in | 198.12 cm |
| 8 ft 0 in | 96 in | 243.84 cm |
One foot equals exactly 0.3048 metres. The converter shows metres automatically as a supporting result.
One foot contains exactly 12 inches, so multiply feet by 12 to get inches.
Centimetres are useful for product dimensions, furniture, smaller construction measurements and other metric specifications where metres would produce inconvenient decimal values.
Imported plans, product sheets or equipment dimensions can sometimes be listed in feet while metric project documentation uses millimetres or centimetres. Converting the length first helps keep units consistent before performing area or volume calculations.
For concrete-related quantity calculations after converting dimensions, use the internal Concrete Estimator or Concrete Calculator Australia.
Human height is often written in feet and inches. The Feet + Inches option converts both parts into one centimetre value without requiring you to convert them separately.
Feet measure length, while square feet measure area. A square-foot value cannot be converted to centimetres because the units describe different dimensions.
Cubic feet measure volume, not length. Use a cubic-volume converter when working with ft³.
The exact conversion is 30.48 centimetres per foot. Round the final result only to the precision appropriate for the original measurement and your use case.
Numeric inputs start empty and display a light 0 placeholder. Typing 10 gives 10 rather than 010, and your actual entry remains clear without blur.
