Approx 5.88 trillion miles or more precisely
5,878,482,164,161 statute miles

BUT The actual, exact length of the light-year depends on the length of the reference year used in the calculation, and there is no wide consensus on the reference to be used.

The figure above is based on a reference year of 31,556,925.9747 seconds, but other reference years are often used, such that the light-year is not an appropriate unit to use when extremely high precision is required.

And parsecs are to be preferred

1 light year = 365*86400*186000 miles = 5.866 x 10^12 miles
