Conversion Formula
The formula to convert meters (m) to US survey feet (us) is:
feet (us) = meters × 3.280833333
This works because one meter is defined as exactly 39.37 inches, and the US survey foot is defined as exactly 1200/3937 meters, which makes it slightly longer than the international foot (0.3048006096 meters vs 0.3048 meters).
Example calculation:
- Start with 19 meters.
- Multiply 19 by 3.280833333:
- 19 × 3.280833333 = 62.3369 US survey feet.
This formula convert meters into US survey feet by applying the conversion factor.
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 m to us:
- Multiply 5 × 3.280833333.
- Result is 16.4042 us feet.
- This means 5 meters equals about 16.4042 US survey feet.
- Convert 12.5 m to us:
- Multiply 12.5 × 3.280833333.
- Result is 41.0104 us feet.
- The length of 12.5 meters corresponds to 41.0104 US survey feet.
- Convert 0 m to us:
- 0 × 3.280833333 equals 0.
- Zero meters is zero in any unit, including US survey feet.
- Convert 27.8 m to us:
- 27.8 × 3.280833333 = 91.2171 us feet.
- So 27.8 meters equals about 91.2171 US survey feet.
- Convert 3.33 m to us:
- 3.33 × 3.280833333 ≈ 10.9282 us feet.
- 3.33 meters is approximately 10.9282 US survey feet.

Conversion Definitions
m (meter): Meter is the SI unit of length, defined as the distance light travels in vacuum during 1⁄299,792,458 seconds. It’s used worldwide for measuring length, height, distance, and depth in science, engineering, and daily life. One meter equals 100 centimeters or about 39.37 inches.
us (US survey foot): The US survey foot is a unit of length used in land surveying in the United States. It is defined as exactly 1200/3937 meters (about 0.3048006096 m), slightly longer than the international foot. This unit helps keep consistency with older survey data based on traditional feet lengths.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the US survey foot differ from the international foot?
The US survey foot was defined to maintain consistency with older land surveying records in the US, relying on the earlier definition of the foot as 1200/3937 meters. The international foot was later standardized as exactly 0.3048 meters. This tiny difference matters in precise surveying but not in casual measurements.
Can I use the same conversion factor for any length in meters to US survey feet?
Yes, the conversion factor 3.280833333 applies to all lengths. It is a fixed ratio based on unit definitions, so multiplying any meter value by this factor gives the equivalent length in US survey feet, regardless of distance size.
Is there a simple way to remember the meter to US survey feet conversion?
A rough estimate is that 1 meter equals about 3.28 US survey feet, which is close to the international foot conversion. For rough calculations, 3.28 is fine, but use 3.280833333 for precise results to avoid small errors over long distances.
Why is the US survey foot still used if international units exist?
Because many land records and maps in the US are based on the US survey foot, switching to the international foot might cause discrepancies in legal or surveying contexts. The US survey foot preserves consistency with historical data and reduces errors in surveying projects.
How precise is the conversion from m to US survey feet?
The conversion factor is exact by definition, but real-world measurements might have errors. The factor 3.280833333 ensures mathematical precision for conversions, but actual use depends on the accuracy of the original meter measurement and instruments used.
