The formula
First turn everything into inches: total inches = (feet × 12) + inches. Then cm = total inches × 2.54. Example: 5 ft 7 in → (5 × 12 + 7) = 67 inches → 67 × 2.54 = 170.18 cm.

Why a separate tool for this?
Indians say height as two numbers — "five-seven" — but forms ask for one number in cm. Doing (5 × 12 + 7) × 2.54 in your head is where mistakes happen. This tool takes the two numbers exactly as you say them.
