How many square metres are in a square foot?
To convert square feet to square metres, multiply by 0.09290304. One ft² is 0.09290304 m², and one m² is 10.76391 ft², so to go the other way multiply square metres by 10.76391 or divide by 0.09290304. The factor is exact: a square foot is 0.3048 m × 0.3048 m = 0.09290304 m². Type a number in either box below and the other one updates at once.
How to convert square feet and square metres
1 ft² = 0.09290304 m², and 1 m² = 10.76391 ft². The factor is exact: a square foot is 0.3048 m × 0.3048 m = 0.09290304 m².
One square foot is exactly 0.09290304 square metres, and one square metre is 10.7639 square feet. A quick check: divide square feet by 10.76, or by 11 for a rough figure. A 1,000 sq ft home is 92.9 m².

Where you meet it in Canada
Canadian real estate is still advertised in square feet, even though floor plans, building codes and appliances are metric. A condo listed at 650 sq ft is 60.4 m², a 2,400 sq ft detached house is 223 m², and European or Asian listings, which are in square metres, look small until you convert them. A tile or paint product may be priced per square metre but sold in square-foot boxes, so the conversion is part of working out the cost.
When to use it
- Comparing a Canadian listing in square feet with a European one in square metres
- Working out how much flooring, tile or paint to buy
- Converting a room, a deck or a floor plan
- Checking a heated-space figure on an energy report
Mistakes it helps you avoid
- Converting length factors for an area: the area factor is the square of the length factor (0.3048² = 0.0929).
- Mixing gross, net and carpet area when comparing homes.
- Using 10 instead of 10.76 for square feet per square metre.
- Rounding too early when pricing per square metre.
The formula
One multiplication each way.
m² = ft² × 0.09290304ft² = m² × 10.76391 (or m² ÷ 0.09290304)
The factor is exact: a square foot is 0.3048 m × 0.3048 m = 0.09290304 m². The result is rounded for display only; the figure in the box keeps up to eight significant digits. Factors come from NIST SP 811 Appendix B.
Example: 650 ft² in square metres
Convert 650 square feet to square metres.
- Factor1 ft² = 0.09290304 m²
- Multiply650 × 0.09290304 = 60.387
650 ft² = 60.387 m²
Check: 60.387 ÷ 0.09290304 gives back 650.

Is the ft² to m² factor exact?
The factor is exact: a square foot is 0.3048 m × 0.3048 m = 0.09290304 m².
How do I convert sq ft to m² in my head?
Divide by 11 for a rough figure, or by 10.76 for a closer one. 1,000 sq ft is 92.9 m².
Why is it not 0.3048?
