How to Use the Square Feet to Square Meters Converter
- Type the area in square feet, for example from a listing or a floor plan.
- Read the answer in square meters, plus acres and hectares for land.
- Check the "same area as a square" line to picture the size.
- Tap m2 to sq ft to go the other way. The area stays the same.
| Result | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Converted area | Your area in square meters (or square feet). |
| Same area as a square | The side length of a square room with that area. |
| Acres and hectares | The same area in land units. |
| Size check | A rough room or home size, to catch a typo. |
What Is a Square Foot in Square Meters?
One square foot is a square 1 foot on each side. In metric terms it is 0.0929 square meters, a bit less than a tenth of a square meter.
That is why a square meter figure is always about one tenth of the square foot figure. A 1,000 sq ft apartment is about 93 m2.
How Does the Square Feet to Square Meters Formula Work?
Square feet to square meters
m2 = sq ft x 0.09290304Same thing, by dividing
m2 = sq ft / 10.7639104The factor comes from squaring the foot: 0.3048 m x 0.3048 m = 0.09290304 m2.
Quick estimate: divide square feet by 10, then take away 7 percent. 1,500 sq ft becomes 150 - 10.5 = 139.5 m2, close to the exact 139.4.
Square Feet to Square Meters Examples
A 1,000 sq ft apartment
1000 x 0.09290304 = 92.9 m2A 12 ft by 14 ft bedroom (168 sq ft)
168 x 0.09290304 = 15.61 m2A 2,500 sq ft house
2500 x 0.09290304 = 232.26 m2For rooms, multiply length by width first. The square footage calculator does that step for you.

What Changes a Square Footage Conversion
Which Area Is Measured
Listings may quote carpet, built-up or gross area. The conversion is the same, but the numbers are not.
Rounding
Rounding 0.0929 to 0.09 makes a 2,000 sq ft house 180 m2 instead of 185.8. Use the full factor for prices per square meter.
Odd-Shaped Rooms
Split the room into rectangles, add their square feet, then convert the total.
When to Use a Square Feet to Square Meters Converter
Moving or Buying Abroad
Compare a US listing with homes listed in square meters.
Building Codes and Permits
Many codes set room and window sizes in square meters.
Price per Square Meter
Turn a price per square foot into a price per square meter by multiplying by 10.764.
Common Mistakes
1. Dividing by 3.28
3.28 is for length. For area, divide by 10.764.
2. Getting a Bigger Number
Square meters should be the smaller number. If not, you multiplied by 10.764 by mistake.
3. Converting Price the Wrong Way
A price per sq ft becomes bigger per m2, not smaller, because a square meter holds 10.76 square feet.
Accuracy and Limitations
The factor is exact, so the math is exact. Only the display is rounded.
What it converts accurately
- Square feet to square meters and back
- Acres and hectares
- The side of an equal-area square
What it does not cover
- Length times width (use the square footage calculator)
- Local land units such as marla or kanal
- Which area type a listing uses
