Feet To Stories Calculator

The Feet to Stories Calculator calculates either the height of a building or the number of stories, given the other value and the average height of a single story.

This calculator simplifies conversions between a building’s height and its number of stories. Ideal for architects, engineers, and construction professionals, it uses a default story height of 10 feet, which can be customized based on your project needs.

Input either the height or the number of stories to determine the missing value.

Formula

Calculating Height:

\text{Height (ft)} = \text{Number of Stories} \times \text{Story Height (ft)}

Calculating Number of Stories:

\text{Number of Stories} = \frac{\text{Height (ft)}}{\text{Story Height (ft)}}

Variable	Description	Units
Height	Total height of the building	ft, m, in, cm
Stories	Number of stories in the building	Dimensionless
Story Height	Height of a single story	ft (default 10 ft)

Solved Calculations

Example 1: Calculate Height

Input:
- Number of Stories = $1$
- Story Height = $10 \, \text{ft$

Step	Formula	Result
Calculate Height	$\text{Height} = \text{Stories} \times \text{St$	$15 \times 10 = 150 \,$

Example 2: Calculate Number of Stories

Input:
- Height = $30 \,$
- Story Height = $10 \,$

Step	Formula	Result
Convert Height to Feet	$30 \, \text{m} \times 3.28084 = 98.425 \,$	$98.425 \, \text{ft}$
Calculate Stories	$\text{Stories} = \frac{\text{Height}}{\text{Stor$	$\frac{98.425}{10} = 9.842 \, \text$
