How this calculator works
One foot is exactly 0.3048 m, so one square foot is exactly 0.09290304 square metres, the square of that number. Converting square metres to square feet therefore divides by the exact factor 0.09290304, then rounds the readout to six significant digits.
Formula
ft² = m² ÷ 0.09290304.
Worked example
100 m² to square feet: 100 ÷ 0.09290304 = 1076.39 ft².

Frequently asked questions
Why divide by 0.0929 rather than multiply by 3.28?
Area uses the square of the linear conversion factor. A square metre is about 10.76 square feet, and multiplying the metre figure by 3.28 would treat area like length.
How big is 100 m² in a home?
About 1,076 ft², a modest apartment or small bungalow, so Canadian and US listings land in the same range once converted.
Does this convert linear metres to feet?
No. The page converts area. For length, use the metres to feet page; multiplying a linear measurement by this factor would be wrong.
