Square Feet to Square Meters Converter

Enter a value above.

To convert square feet to square meters, divide by 10.7639 (or multiply by 0.0929); to go from square meters to square feet, multiply by 10.7639. This comes from squaring the linear conversion: 1 meter equals about 3.2808 feet, and squaring that ratio gives the area conversion factor.

This conversion is most useful when comparing US flooring, room, or lot measurements (which use square feet) against metric building plans, imported material specifications, or international real estate listings that use square meters.

For flooring and tile material quantities specifically, the Flooring Calculator and Tile Calculator handle square footage directly and don't require a separate metric conversion step.

Where these numbers come from

Standard unit-conversion factors. Material weight figures (where used) are typical averages -- check your specific supplier for exact density.

Frequently asked questions

Which is bigger, a square foot or a square meter?

A square meter is much bigger -- about 10.76 times the area of a square foot, since a meter itself is about 3.28 times longer than a foot.

Do I need this for ordering flooring or tile in the US?

Usually not -- US suppliers and calculators, including the ones on this site, work in square feet. This converter is mainly useful for comparing against metric plans, specs, or listings.

Is there a simpler rule of thumb?

Roughly, multiply square meters by 10.75 to estimate square feet, or divide square feet by 10.75 for a rough square-meter figure -- close enough for a quick mental check, though use the precise factor for real orders.
