Convert feet to yards
Type a value in either box, and the answer shows it in the other unit as you type.
- Yards (yd)
- 0.333333
1 ft = 0.333333 yd.
Yards (yd): 0.333333. 1 ft = 0.333333 yd.
Yards (yd) by feet (ft)
How to calculate
Converts feet (ft) to yards (yd) and back, with the exact unit definitions.
Example with the default inputs (Feet (ft) 1): 1 ft = 0.333333 yd.
Formula: yd = ft × 0.333333333333 (the same as ft ÷ 3)
- 1 foot = 0.333333333333 yards, from the exact definitions in NIST SP 811.
- Exact on the typed decimals: at most 6 decimal places (6 significant digits below 0.0001), rounded half up; an answer of 1 billion or more shows at most 15 significant digits.
