How do I convert meters to yards?
Type a value in either box, and the answer shows it in the other unit as you type.
- Yards (yd)
- 1.093613
1 m = 1.093613 yd.
Yards (yd): 1.093613. 1 m = 1.093613 yd.
Yards (yd) by meters (m)
How to calculate
Converts meters (m) to yards (yd) and back, with the exact unit definitions.
Example with the default inputs (Meters (m) 1): 1 m = 1.093613 yd.
Formula: yd = m × 1.09361329834 (the same as m ÷ 0.9144)
- 1 meter = 1.09361329834 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.

How many yards are in a meter?
1 meter is 1.093613 yards, from the exact unit definitions (NIST SP 811).
How do I convert meters to yards?
Multiply by 1.093613: yd = m × 1.09361329834 (the same as m ÷ 0.9144). For example, 1 m × 1.093613 = 1.093613 yd.
How do I convert yards back to meters?
Multiply by 0.9144, or type the yards into the second box and the converter works it out. 1 yard is 0.9144 meters.
What is 100 meters in yards?
109.36133 yd: 100 ÷ 0.9144.
Why is a yard 0.9144 m?
A yard is 3 feet of 0.3048 m, so a yard is 3 × 0.3048 = 0.9144 m exactly (NIST SP 811).
