Definitions

  • The square metre is the SI unit of area, and the unit UK floor plans and carpets are sold in.
  • This conversion is exact by definition. 1 ft² = 0.09290304 m².
  • Area is converted through m².

How it works

One direction multiplies and the other divides by the same number, so nothing is lost by going back and forth.

The value passes through m², the unit every other area unit on the site is defined against, rather than a number written into this page on its own. That is why the figure here, the figure in the table above and the general area converter always agree.

Display precision limits significant figures rather than decimal places, because one fixed number of decimals is useless across a range this wide. Very large and very small results switch to scientific notation with a proper superscript exponent. The editable box always holds a plain number at full working precision, so you can carry on from either side.

Common questions this answers: how many square metres in a square foot (0.092903), how many square feet in a square metre (10.7639), and what 1000 ft² is in square metres (92.903 m²).
