About

Real estate markets operate on divided standards: Europe and Asia predominantly use Square Meters (m²), while the US and UK markets rely on Square Feet (sq ft). For buyers, agents, and architects working across borders, this schism creates significant friction. A 100 m² apartment is not simply "1000 feet" - the discrepancy is nearly 8%, a margin large enough to alter valuation significantly.

This tool addresses the precision gap using the factor 10.7639. It is designed to interpret locale-specific inputs (handling both comma and dot decimals) and provides visual context to abstract numbers, equating areas to tangible spaces like tennis courts or parking spots.

Formulas

Area conversion is two-dimensional. Since 1 ft = 0.3048 m, squaring this relationship gives the factor:

1 m² = 10.3048² sq ft ≈ 10.7639 sq ft

The formula applied is:

A_{sq ft} = A_m² × 10.7639

Frequently Asked Questions

For legal contracts, use the exact value derived from 0.3048. However, 10.764 is standard for listings. This tool uses 10.76391... internally for maximum precision.

Yes. If you enter 50,5 (European format), the tool intelligently interprets it as 50.5.

A standard 1000 sq ft area is roughly 93 m². Visualize a square grid of 9.6 meters by 9.6 meters, or slightly larger than a racquetball court.

This converter changes the unit only. It does not account for wall thickness (Gross) versus livable space (Net/Carpet Area), which varies by local law.
