How many square meters are in a square foot
One square foot is exactly 0.09290304 square meters, a little under a tenth. It is the square of the foot’s length: 0.3048 m × 0.3048 m. Turned around, one square meter is about 10.7639 square feet.
Square feet to square meters formula
Multiply the square feet by 0.09290304:
m² = ft² × 0.09290304
Dividing by 10 is a common shortcut, but it overstates the area by about 7.6 percent: 1,000 ft² ÷ 10 is 100 m², while the exact answer is 92.90 m². On a home listing that gap is the size of a small bathroom, so use the exact figure when comparing prices per square meter.

Worked example: a bedroom from its sides
A bedroom measures 12 ft by 15 ft. The area in square feet is 12 × 15 = 180 ft², and 180 × 0.09290304 = 16.72 m². You get the same result by converting each side first, 3.6576 m × 4.572 m, and multiplying. Converting the sides is useful when a plan lists lengths; converting the total is faster when a listing already gives square feet.
Square feet for a whole home
A 750 ft² one-bedroom apartment is 69.68 m², and a 2,000 ft² house is 185.81 m². For land rather than floor space, the unit list also has acres and hectares; the Acres to Hectares page opens on that pair.
