Convert square feet to square meters
Type a value in either box, and the answer shows it in the other unit as you type.
- Square meters (m²)
- 0.092903
1 ft² = 0.092903 m².
Square meters (m²): 0.092903. 1 ft² = 0.092903 m².
Square meters (m²) by square feet (ft²)
How to calculate
Converts square feet (ft²) to square meters (m²) and back, with the exact unit definitions.
Example with the default inputs (Square feet (ft²) 1): 1 ft² = 0.092903 m².
Formula: m² = ft² × 0.09290304
- 1 square foot = 0.09290304 square meters, from the exact definitions in NIST SP 811.
- Exact on the typed decimals: at most 6 decimal places (6 significant digits below 0.0001), rounded half up; an answer of 1 billion or more shows at most 15 significant digits.
