Convert floor space, land and plot sizes between metric and imperial area units. It is handy for comparing property listings, ordering flooring or turf, and working with land measured in acres or hectares — every unit is shown in the table below.
Formula
Result = Value × (m² per “from” unit) ÷ (m² per “to” unit)
Area units are squares of length units, so the factors are squared too: 1 ft = 0.3048 m, so 1 ft² = 0.3048² = 0.09290304 m².
Common conversions
1 m² ≈ 10.764 ft² · 1 acre ≈ 4,047 m² ≈ 0.405 ha · 1 hectare = 10,000 m² ≈ 2.471 acres · 1 mi² = 640 acres.
