Square Feet to Square Meters
Convert square feet (ft²) to square meters (m²). Both measure surface measurement, and the conversion comes up in real estate, farming, construction work.
The Formula
``
square meters = square feet × 0.09290304
square feet = square meters × 10.7639104167
`
One square feet is 0.092903 square meters, and one square meter is 10.7639 square feet.

What Each Unit Is
Square Feet (ft²) — the area of a square one foot on each side, or 0.092903 square metres. The imperial unit US and UK property is advertised in.
Square Meters (m²) — the area of a square one metre on each side — the SI derived unit of area. The metric standard for floor area, land and materials.
A Sense of Scale
A bedroom is 120–200 ft²- A US home averages 2,300 ft²
- A parking space is 130 ft²
- A parking space is about 12 m²
- A small flat is 45 m²
- A tennis court is 261 m²
Precision
The factor 0.09290304 is rounded. For engineering work carry more digits than the table above, and round only at the end — rounding at each step compounds.

How Many Decimals Do You Need?
Rounding the factor costs accuracy, and how much depends on the factor. Converting 137 ft² with the factor truncated at each decimal place:
| Decimals kept | Factor | 137 ft² becomes | Error |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 100.0000% |
| 1 | 0.1 | 13.7 | 7.6391% |
| 2 | 0.09 | 12.33 | 3.1248% |
| 3 | 0.093 | 12.741 | 0.1044% |
| 4 | 0.0929 | 12.7273 | 0.0033% |
The right number of significant figures is set by your input, not by the converter. If you measured square feet to three significant figures, the answer in square meters is only good to three — writing more digits claims precision the measurement never had.
