HTML <meter> Tag

Last Updated : 26 May, 2026

The HTML <meter> tag is used to display a scalar measurement within a known range. It is commonly used to show values like disk usage, scores, or battery levels.

  • Represents a value within a predefined minimum and maximum range.
  • Commonly used for progress indicators like battery status or performance levels.
  • Supports attributes such as min, max, value, low, high, and optimum.

Syntax: 

<meter attributes...> </meter>

Attributes

  • form Attribute: form defines one or more forms to which the <meter> tag belongs.
  • max Attribute: max specifies the maximum value of the range.
  • min Attribute: min specifies the minimum value of the range.
  • high Attribute: high specifies the range considered as a high value.
  • low Attribute: low specifies the range considered as a low value.
  • optimum Attribute: optimum specifies the optimum value for the range.
  • value Attribute: value specifies the current or actual value of the range.

Note: It's highly recommended to incorporate the <label> tag for optimal accessibility practices
