SponsoredThis converter turns square feet into square meters (sq ft to sq m). Enter a value and the result updates as you type. 1 square foot equals exactly 0.09290304 square meters.
A square foot is 0.09290304 square meters, the foot's 0.3048 meters squared. That is a little under a tenth of a square meter, so a quick estimate is to divide square feet by 10.76, or multiply by 0.093. US listings and plans use square feet, while most other countries give floor area in square meters, so this conversion puts a US floor area into metric.
The result is rounded to 4 decimal places, but the factor behind it never is, so long chains of conversions stay accurate. You can type decimals, thousands separators or fractions such as 2 1/2, and the conversion table below lists common values.

Gross vs Net Floor Area
Converting the unit is exact, but two listings can still disagree because they measure different things. A gross figure counts the outer footprint, including walls, and sometimes garages, basements or shared areas. A net or usable figure counts only the floor inside the walls. Check which one a listing gives before comparing a US square footage with a metric floor area.
The Square Footage Calculator for Real Estate Listings measures a home room by room, and the Floor Area Ratio Calculator compares floor area with plot area, a ratio that is the same in any unit.
Survey Square Feet
Some converters offer a U.S. survey square foot, about 0.0929034 square meters, based on the old survey foot of 1,200/3,937 meters. It is about 4 parts per million larger, and NIST says the survey foot should be avoided from 2023 except for historic records. Floor areas use the international foot, as this converter does.
