Centimeters to Feet and Inches Chart
Height in centimeters against feet and inches, one row per centimeter through the usual adult range. Passports and licences round to the nearest whole inch, so the fractional column is what a tape actually reads.
Source data and formula checked · How we check
Centimeters to Feet and Inches Chart reads height straight off height, for 61 values from 140 to 200. Every row is computed from the same formula the calculator uses, not measured or copied from another table, so a value between two rows can be worked out the same way. The formula is the one published by NIST.

Questions people actually ask
- How do I read the Centimeters to Feet and Inches Chart?
- Find your height in the first column and read across. At 140 cm the height is 4' 7"; at 200 cm it is 6' 7". The table runs from 140 cm to 200 cm in 61 rows.
- How much does the height change per row?
- By 0 for every 1 cm of height, and by the same amount everywhere in the table — the relationship is a straight line, so halfway between two rows is halfway between their two answers. That is what makes reading between the rows safe here.
- What if my height is outside the table?
- The chart covers 140 cm to 200 cm, which is the range people actually look up. Anything above or below goes into the calculator, which takes any figure and shows each step of the working rather than only the result. Open the height converter.
- Where do these numbers come from?
- Every row is computed at build time from the formula published by NIST, by the same code behind the calculator — not transcribed from another table, which is how a rounding error in one chart ends up in twenty.
Need a different number?
The chart covers the common values. For anything between the rows, the height converter takes any figure and shows the working.
