# Feet to Yards Converter URL: https://speedycalculator.com/calculators/conversion/feet-to-yards/ Last updated: 2026-10-25 > Convert feet (ft) to yards (yd): 1 foot = 0.33333333 yd, so multiply by 0.33333333 or divide by 3. Both fields are editable, so you can also type in yards and get feet back. ## Inputs - Feet (ft) ## Results - Yards ## Formula ``` 1 ft = 0.33333333 yd 1 yd = 3 ft yd = ft × 0.33333333 ``` ## Explanation Three feet make a yard, so divide by 3. Fabric, turf, carpet and American football distances are measured in yards. ### How to use the Feet to Yards Converter - Type the number of feet into the **Feet** field. Decimals such as 1.5 are fine. - Read the answer in **Yards** – it updates as you type, with no button to press. - To convert the other way, type into **Yards** and the feet are recalculated. - Press **Copy results** to copy both values with the page title, or **Copy link** to share this exact conversion. This page converts only ft ⇄ yd. Need a different unit? Use the general length converter, where you can choose any “from” and “to” unit. ### How it works Both units measure length, so they are always in the same ratio: one foot equals 0.33333333 yards. The calculator multiplies the number of feet you type by 0.33333333 to give yards, and when you type into the yards field it divides by the same factor to give feet. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the feet always doubles the yards. Results are calculated at full precision and rounded only for display (up to eight decimal places, with very large or small values shown in scientific notation). ### How to convert feet to yards - Write down the value in feet, for example **3 ft**. - Multiply by the conversion factor 0.33333333 (because 1 foot = 0.33333333 yd). - 3 × 0.33333333 = **1 yd**. - To go back from yards to feet, divide by 0.33333333 – or multiply by 3. ### ft to yd conversion table FeetYardsYardsFeet1 ft0.33333333 yd1 yd3 ft3 ft1 yd2 yd6 ft6 ft2 yd5 yd15 ft9 ft3 yd10 yd30 ft10 ft3.3333333 yd20 yd60 ft12 ft4 yd50 yd150 ft15 ft5 yd100 yd300 ft20 ft6.6666667 yd1,000 yd3,000 ft30 ft10 yd50 ft16.666667 yd100 ft33.333333 yd300 ft100 yd ### What is a foot? The international foot is exactly 0.3048 m and contains 12 inches. It remains the everyday unit for height, room dimensions and altitude in the U.S., and for aviation altitude worldwide. ### What is a yard? The yard is 3 feet (36 inches), exactly 0.9144 m. It is used for fabric, American and Canadian football fields, golf distances and, as the gaj, for land in South Asia. ### Quick mental conversion For a fast estimate, multiply feet by about **0.33** to get yards; the error is about 1.0%. Use the calculator above when you need the exact figure. ### Common mistakes to avoid Mixing the international foot (0.3048 m) with the old u.s. survey foot, confusing nautical and statute miles, and writing decimal feet such as 5.5 ft as “5 ft 5 in” (it is 5 ft 6 in). ## Worked example Inputs — Feet: 3 ft. Results — **Yards = 1 yd**. ## FAQ **How many yards is 10 feet?** 3.33 yd. **How many feet in 100 yards?** 300 ft. **How do I convert feet to yards?** Multiply the number of feet by 0.33333333. For example, 3 ft × 0.33333333 = 1 yd. **How do I convert yards back to feet?** Divide by 0.33333333 (or multiply by 3), or simply type the value into the yards field above. **What is 10 ft in yards?** 10 ft = 3.3333333 yd. **What is 100 ft in yards?** 100 ft = 33.333333 yd. **Is this conversion exact?** Yes. The factor comes from the official definitions of both units (NIST and the SI), so the only difference you may see is rounding in the last displayed digit. **Can I convert to other units on this page?** This page converts only between feet and yards. To pick any length unit, use the general length converter linked under Related calculators. **What formula does the Feet to Yards Converter use?** 1 ft = 0.33333333 yd. ## Sources - [NIST Special Publication 811 – Guide for the Use of the International System of Units](https://www.nist.gov/pml/special-publication-811) - [NIST Handbook 44 Appendix C – General tables of units of measurement](https://www.nist.gov/pml/owm/nist-handbook-44-current-edition)
