Calculation:
Use this calculator to convert square meters (m²) to square feet (ft²). Type the area and you get the result in square feet and also in square yards (yd²).
Below you will find the formula with the exact factor, examples with apartments and houses, a chart from m² to ft², the reverse conversion from ft² to m², and answers to the most common questions.
How to use the square meters to square feet calculator?
Step 1: Type the area in m² in the box. Decimals work with a point or a comma, for example 45.5 or 45,5.
Step 2: Press Calculate or the Enter key.
Step 3: The result in square feet appears on the right. Below it you will see the same area in square yards.
Step 4: The Calculation box shows the operations with your number.
Formula to convert m² to ft²
One square foot is exactly 0.09290304 m². The value is exact because the international foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 m and area is side times side: 0.3048 × 0.3048 = 0.09290304. To convert square meters to square feet, divide by that value:
| A(ft²) = A(m²) ÷ 0.09290304 |
That is the same as multiplying by 10.7639104167, a rounded value because the division never ends:
| A(ft²) = A(m²) × 10.7639104167 |
For square yards, 1 yd² = 0.83612736 m² (0.9144 × 0.9144), so A(yd²) = A(m²) ÷ 0.83612736. One square yard is 9 square feet.
To go the other way, from ft² to m², multiply by 0.09290304:
| A(m²) = A(ft²) × 0.09290304 |
Common mistake: you do not multiply by 3.28084. That factor is for lengths (1 m = 3.28084 ft). Since area is one length times another length, the factor gets squared: 3.28084² = 10.7639.
Square meters to square feet examples
Example 1: How many square feet is 1 m²?
We divide by 0.09290304:
A(ft²) = 1 ÷ 0.09290304 ≈ 10.76 ft²
One square meter is 10.76 ft², or 1.196 yd².
Example 2: A 50 m² apartment
We divide by 0.09290304:
A(ft²) = 50 ÷ 0.09290304 ≈ 538.2 ft²
The apartment is 538.2 ft², which is 59.8 yd².
Example 3: A 120 m² house
We divide by 0.09290304:
A(ft²) = 120 ÷ 0.09290304 ≈ 1291.67 ft²
The house has 1291.67 ft². In a US listing it would show up as 1292 sq ft.
Example 4: A 1500 ft² apartment in m²
Now we multiply by 0.09290304:
A(m²) = 1500 × 0.09290304 ≈ 139.35 m²
1500 ft² equals 139.35 m².

Frequently asked questions
How many square feet are in a square meter?
There are 10.76 square feet in 1 m². The exact value comes from dividing 1 by 0.09290304.
How do I convert square feet to square meters?
Multiply the square feet by 0.09290304. For example, 1000 ft² × 0.09290304 = 92.9 m².
Why is multiplying by 3.28 not enough?
Because 3.28 converts lengths, not areas. A square 1 m by 1 m measures 3.28084 ft by 3.28084 ft, and that multiplication gives 10.76 ft², not 3.28084.
How many square feet is a 100 m² house?
It is 1076.39 ft², which is 119.6 yd².
What does "sq ft" mean in a listing?
It is the abbreviation of square feet (ft²). It is the unit used to advertise homes and apartments in the United States.
