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

What Each Unit Is
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.
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.
A Sense of Scale
A parking space is about 12 m²- A small flat is 45 m²
- A tennis court is 261 m²
- A bedroom is 120–200 ft²
- A US home averages 2,300 ft²
- A parking space is 130 ft²
Doing It in Your Head
Multiply by 43, then divide by 4. That is off by 0.13% — close enough to judge a
distance, a weight or a price, and not close enough to sign off on a drawing.

How Many Decimals Do You Need?
Rounding the factor costs accuracy, and how much depends on the factor. Converting 137 m² with the factor truncated at each decimal place:
| Decimals kept | Factor | 137 m² becomes | Error |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 11 | 1,507 | 2.1933% |
| 1 | 10.8 | 1,479.6 | 0.3353% |
| 2 | 10.76 | 1,474.12 | 0.0363% |
| 3 | 10.764 | 1,474.67 | 0.0008% |
| 4 | 10.7639 | 1,474.65 | — |
The right number of significant figures is set by your input, not by the converter. If you measured square meters to three significant figures, the answer in square feet is only good to three — writing more digits claims precision the measurement never had.
