How it works
Both units measure area, so they are always in the same ratio: one square metre equals 10.76391 square feet. The calculator multiplies the number of square metres you type by 10.76391 to give square feet, and when you type into the square feet field it divides by the same factor to give square metres. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the square metres always doubles the square feet, for example 2 m² is 21.527821 ft².
How to convert square metres to square feet
- Write down the value in square metres, for example 1 m².
- Multiply by the conversion factor 10.76391 (because 1 square metre = 10.76391 ft²).
- 1 × 10.76391 = 10.76391 ft².
- To go back from square feet to square metres, divide by 10.76391, or multiply by 0.09290304.
