About the square meters to square feet converter
To convert square meters to square feet, multiply by 10.7639104167; to convert back, multiply by 0.09290304. For example, 100 m² is about 1,076.391042 ft². Displayed factors and results may be rounded.
Square-meter plans are useful for comparing room sizes and estimating coverage. Converting an area to square feet uses a squared length factor. If you only know the room's length and width, calculate their product in consistent units first.
square foot: 1 ft² = (0.3048 m)² = 0.09290304 m². These values are exact.
Both units are defined exactly. Calculations use 50 significant digits and round only for display.
How to convert square meters to square feet
Multiply square meters by 10.7639: ft² = m² × 10.7639. So 1 m² = 10.76 sq ft, a 50 m² apartment is 538.2 sq ft and 100 m² is 1,076.4 sq ft. For an exact result, divide by 0.09290304, the exact size of a square foot in square meters (NIST SP 811, Appendix B).
Why the factor is 10.76, not 3.28
Square meters (m²) are squares 1 m on each side. A meter is 3.28084 ft, so a square meter covers 3.28084 × 3.28084 = 10.7639 sq ft.
Multiplying an area by 3.28 instead shrinks 100 m² to 328 sq ft, less than a third of the true 1,076 sq ft.

Ordering flooring or tile
Flooring and tile in the US are sold by the square foot. Measure the room in meters, multiply length by width, then convert: a 4 m × 5 m room is 20 m², or 215.28 sq ft.
Add the installer's waste allowance to the converted figure, then round up to whole boxes. Carpet is often priced per square yard instead: 1 m² is 1.196 sq yd, so the same room is 23.92 sq yd.
Picturing a metric floor area
A 25 m² hotel room is 269.1 sq ft, and a 75 m² apartment is 807.3 sq ft. For a rough figure, multiply by 11: it runs 2.2% high, so 50 m² ≈ 550 sq ft, against an exact 538.2.
Prices and rents per square meter
A price per area converts the other way. €3,000 per m² is €278.71 per sq ft: multiply by 0.09290304, because a square foot is less than a tenth of a square meter.
Rents can also differ in period. €25 per m² per month is €27.87 per sq ft per year (25 × 0.09290304 × 12).
Common mistakes
- Multiplying by 10. It understates the area by 7.1%: 100 m² is 1,076 sq ft, not 1,000.
- Using the area factor for volume. Cubic meters need the factor cubed: 1 m³ is 35.31 cubic feet, not 10.76.
Square feet back to square meters
The square feet to square meters converter multiplies by 0.09290304. For land, the hectares to acres converter handles larger metric areas, and the area converter covers square yards and square kilometers.

Questions
How much floor area is 100 m² in square feet?
100 m² is approximately 1,076.39 sq ft. Multiply area by about 10.7639, rather than the 3.28084 factor used for a single meter of length. Add any material waste allowance separately.
How many square feet are in one square meter?
1 m² is about 10.7639104167 ft². square foot: 1 ft² = (0.3048 m)² = 0.09290304 m². These values are exact.
How do I convert square meters to square feet?
Multiply by 10.7639104167: 100 m² × 10.7639104167 ≈ 1,076.391042 ft². To convert back, divide by the same factor. The factor shown may be rounded.
How can I estimate square meters in square feet without a calculator?
Multiply by 11. This is 2.2% above the exact factor (about 10.7639104167), so 100 m² comes out as 1,100 ft² instead of 1,076.391 ft².
