Yards to meters

1 yard = 0.9144 meters

Type a value in yards (yd) to get meters (m) straight away. A yard is smaller than a meter, so the number goes down. Both units belong to length, measured here against the meter.

FromTo0.9144

1 yd = 0.9144 m

Formula

m = yd × 0.9144

One yard is 0.9144 meters, so multiply by that factor. You can also divide by 1.09361, the number of yards in one meter. Here yd is the value in yards and m is the result in meters.

Worked example: 100 yards × 0.9144 = 91.44 meters.

Quick estimate in your head

Multiply by about 0.91. For 100 yd that gives 91 m against an exact 91.44 m, an error of 0.5%.

About the units

Yard (yd). 3 feet or 36 inches, exactly 0.9144 m. Used for sports fields and fabric.

Meter (m). The SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

Going the other way, 1 meter is 1.09361 yards.
