To convert square feet (ft²) to square meters (m²), multiply by 0.092903.
Example:
Key fact: 1 ft² = 0.092903 m².
To convert square feet (sq ft) to square meters (m²), multiply by 0.09290304.
Formula: m² = sq ft × 0.09290304
Example: 100 sq ft × 0.09290304 = 9.290304 m²
To convert square meters to square feet, multiply by 10.7639104167.
Formula: sq ft = m² × 10.7639104167
Example: 20 m² × 10.7639104167 = 215.278 sq ft (about 215.28)
1 square foot = 0.09290304 square meters.
That’s just under one-tenth of a square meter.
1 square meter = 10.7639104167 square feet.
For quick estimates, many people use 10.764 sq ft.
Area uses squared units, so the scale changes more than a simple length swap.
For length, 1 foot = 0.3048 meters.
For area, you square the factor: (0.3048)² = 0.09290304.
That’s why square feet to square meters needs the squared value.
A simple shortcut is to divide by 10.764.
Estimate: m² ≈ sq ft ÷ 10.764
Example: 500 sq ft ÷ 10.764 ≈ 46.45 m²
This is close enough for most planning.
First, find the area in square feet. Then multiply by 0.09290304.
If your room is 12 ft by 15 ft:
Area = 12 × 15 = 180 sq ft
Convert: 180 × 0.09290304 = 16.72 m² (about 16.7)
Use the same formula, even for large areas.
m² = sq ft × 0.09290304
Example: 2,000 sq ft × 0.09290304 = 185.81 m²
If you want a fast estimate, divide 2,000 by 10.764 to get about 185.8 m².
Rounding depends on what you need.
A good default is 2 decimal places.
“Square” means the unit measures area, not length.
Area measures surface size, like floors, walls, and land.
Yes. Both mean square feet.
