ft2 = m2 ÷ 0.09290304Equivalent to multiplying by 10.7639104167.
How to convert square meters to square feet
- Type the area in square meters into the first box.
- Read the result in square feet from the second box.
- For a mental estimate, multiply by ten and then add 7.6% of that figure.
Example 1: a 65 m2 flat is 65 × 10.7639104167 = 699.6542 sq ft.
Example 2: a 120 m2 house is 1,291.6693 sq ft, and an 18 m2 bedroom is 193.7504 sq ft.
The estimate in step 3 gives 650 + 49.4 = 699.4 for the flat, within 0.04% of the exact figure.

Why both units are still in use
The metric system is the standard for building and land measurement in most countries, but the United States, and to some extent Canada and the United Kingdom, still list homes, offices and shops in square feet. International buyers, architects and relocation planners therefore switch between the two constantly.
Keep in mind that agents may measure floor area differently: some count walls, some use internal dimensions. The conversion is exact, but the starting number may not be comparable from one listing to another.
