   How do I convert NGVD 29 elevation to NAVD 88?

   • Elevations referenced to NGVD 29 can be converted to NAVD 88 by using a conversion factor. This conversion factor is just added to the NGVD 29 elevation to compute the equivalent NAVD 88 elevation. The simplest method is to use the offset used by FEMA.

   Is NAVD 88 lower than NGVD 29?

   • NAVD 88 is lower than NGVD 29 in the east, so the conversion factor will be a negative number. The elevation converted to NAVD 88 will be a lower number than the elevation in NGVD 29. In the western United States, individual streams or watersheds have their own conversion factors.

   What is the average conversion to NAVD 88?

   • An average conversion of 0.1 foot or less could be deceiving in areas that contain conversions to NAVD 88 that show large plus and minus variances. To illustrate this point, Table 2 shows a hypothetical datum conversion analysis where the average conversion to NAVD 88 was calculated as -0.09 foot.

   NFIP Vertical Datum p. 7 Conversion Instructions. In the first example, the countywide conversion factor is -0.609. The elevation in NAVD 88 would be: 54.2 + -0.609 = 53.591 or 53.6 ft. Remember, if you add a negative number to the existing elevation, the resulting elevation will be a lower number.

   Conversion between NAVD 88 and the commonly used NGVD 29 varies spatially; however, over most of the study area the following conversion can be used: NGVD 29 = NAVD 88 –3.6 feet. This conversion generally is accurate within about ± 0.5 feet for 95 percent of the study area.
