One square foot is exactly 0.09290304 square meters. That factor is 0.3048 squared, since a foot is exactly 0.3048 meters. Multiply square feet by 0.09290304 to get square meters, or divide by about 10.764. You need this conversion when floor area or a small lot measured in the US has to be expressed in metric, for example for an international buyer, an architect abroad, or a product sold in square meters.

Where you’ll use it
Floor plans, home listings and commercial leases in the US quote square feet. Imported flooring, tiles, insulation and solar panels are often sold or specified in square meters. A 1,000 sq ft apartment is about 92.9 m²; a 1,500 sq ft house is about 139.35 m². People relocating from the US also convert in this direction to compare their current home with apartments they see listed abroad.
Tip: Do not multiply by 0.3048. That is the factor for feet, not square feet, and it turns 1,000 sq ft into 304.8 m², more than three times the real figure. Area factors are the linear factor squared.
