Convert square meters to square feet — and back — with the exact factor (1 m² = 10.76391 ft², the square of the 0.3048 foot definition). Loads with m² → ft² preselected. The one rule to remember: area needs the squared factor — see the FAQ.

The formula

ft² = m² × 10.76391 · m² = ft² × 0.09290304. Mental math: multiply by 10 and add ~8% — 80 m² → 800 + 64 ≈ 864 ft² (true 861).

Common values

m² ft² m² ft²
10 108 100 1,076
25 269 150 1,615
50 538 200 2,153
70 753 250 2,691
85 915 500 5,382

Listings, offices, rugs

Real estate is the arena: international listings, Airbnb descriptions, and office leases mix m² and ft² freely, and the linear-factor mistake (FAQ) makes flats look tiny or palatial. Offices price per ft² in the US/UK and per m² most other places — a $50/ft²/year rate is $538/m²/year. Interiors: an 8×10 ft rug is 7.4 m². Land-scale areas switch units entirely — hectares and acres have their own converter, and room dimensions (linear, not area) go through feet to meters.

Frequently asked questions

What is the exact m² to ft² formula?
Multiply square meters by 10.76391 (exactly: divide by 0.09290304, which is 0.3048²). So 50 m² = 538.2 ft². Reverse: ft² × 0.09290304.
Why can′t I just use the 3.28 feet-per-meter factor?
Because area scales with the SQUARE of length: a meter is 3.28 ft, but a square meter is 3.28² = 10.76 square feet. Using the linear factor undersells a 100 m² flat as 328 ft² instead of the true 1,076 ft² — the single most common area-conversion error.
What is a typical apartment size in both units?
A compact European one-bedroom of 50 m² is 538 ft²; a 70 m² two-bedroom is 753 ft²; a 100 m² family flat is 1,076 ft². In reverse, the median new US house of about 2,200 sq ft is 204 m².
Do property markets measure the same floor area?
Not always — some markets quote internal usable area, others include walls, balconies, or common-area shares ("built-up" vs "carpet" area in India, for example). The unit conversion here is exact; the measurement conventions behind the number are worth checking before comparing listings.
