Jumping Spiders can jump horizontally about 25 times their body length. The average jumping spider is about 10mm or less, so that's really not that far (about one foot). That distance is only achieved when they are fleeing something, though. Most regular, non-pressured jumps are just a few centimeters in distance. (source: Biology of Spiders by Rainer Foelix)
I'm not sure how high they can jump, though. Can't be that high...

How far Can a jumping spider jump?
That is sort of a trick question. Spiders do not engage in athletic contests, so they have no idea of trying to jump just to see how far they can go. Jumping spiders jump as far as they need to in order to reach their prey. They have rarely been observed to fail to catch prey because they jump but fail to reach that far. So they clearly have a good sense of their own limitations. They are likely to creep as near to their prey as they can get without being noticed. So there is probably a reserve margin of jumping capability that jumping spiders rarely use. Just as sumo wrestlers are rarely broad jump champions, heavy-bodied jumping spiders do not jump for as many times their own body length as do light-bodied jumping spiders. A recent study of one small spider showed that it could jump 15 times its body length. The Zebra spider is about the same size, so it probably could jump around 3 inches too.
