Square Feet to Square Meters Converter
Floor areas converted, with a warning about what property listings actually count.
Enter a number.
The formula
ft² = m² × 10.7639104
Exact, because it is the square of the exact 0.3048 meter foot. Area conversions square the linear factor, which is why an eight percent linear error becomes a seventeen percent area error if you use a rough factor.

The number is less comparable than it looks
Converting the unit is easy. Comparing two listings isn't, because countries differ on what floor area includes. Some measure to the internal face of walls, some include the walls themselves, some count balconies at half weight, some include a share of common areas.
So a converted figure tells you what the listing said in another unit. It doesn't tell you the two properties were measured the same way.
Common questions
How many square meters is 1000 square feet?
1,000 square feet is 92.90 square meters. One square foot is exactly 0.09290304 square meters, since the foot is exactly 0.3048 meters and the conversion squares that.
Is 1 square foot exactly 0.09290304 square meters?
Yes. It follows from the foot being defined as exactly 0.3048 meters, and 0.3048 squared is 0.09290304 exactly.
How do I convert square meters to square feet?
Multiply by 10.7639. A quick mental version is to multiply by 10 and add about 8 percent.
Does floor area mean the same thing everywhere?
No, and this matters more than the arithmetic. Countries differ on whether quoted floor area includes internal walls, balconies, or shared space, so two listings can describe the same property with different numbers.
