Stories to Feet Conversion Calculator

How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the number of stories in the building in the "Number of Stories" field.
2. The calculator defaults to assuming each story is 10 feet high. If your building has a different story height, check the "Use custom story height" box and enter the actual height per story in feet.
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the total height of the building in feet.
4. The result will be displayed in the "Total Height (Feet)" field, along with the calculation formula used.
5. Click "Reset" to clear all inputs and start over.

Understanding the Calculation

This calculator uses a simple multiplication formula to convert stories to feet:

Total Height (Feet) = Number of Stories × Story Height (Feet)

For example, a 5-story building with 10-foot stories would be 50 feet tall (5 stories × 10 feet/story = 50 feet).

Important Notes

While one story is typically 10 feet in height, this can vary depending on:

• Building design (e.g., commercial vs. residential)
• Location and building codes
• Floor-to-ceiling height vs. total story height

For more accurate conversions, use the custom story height option if your building doesn't follow the standard 10-foot story convention.
