How it's calculated
This is a single exact multiplication -- multiply square feet by 0.09290304 to get square meters, or divide square meters by that same figure to get square feet back. No rounding or estimation is involved in the factor itself, only in how many decimal places you choose to display.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the exact conversion factor?
1 square foot equals exactly 0.09290304 square meters (and 1 square meter equals exactly 10.7639104167... square feet) -- both are exact definitions, not rounded estimates, since a foot is itself an exactly defined fraction of a meter.
Why isn't it a round number?
The international foot was defined in 1959 as exactly 0.3048 meters, which is a precise but not round figure -- squaring it to convert an area gives 0.09290304, the exact factor used here.
Should a listing use square meters or square feet?
It depends on the market: the US, UK, and a few other countries typically list residential floor area in square feet; most of the rest of the world uses square meters. Match the unit your audience or local convention expects.
How do I convert the other direction?
Use the "Direction" selector above to switch between square feet -> square meters and square meters -> square feet -- the same exact factor applies either way, just multiplied or divided.
Should I round the result for practical use?
For everyday use (a listing, a rough estimate) rounding to a whole or one decimal place is standard practice; for a legal document or survey figure, keep more decimal places to match the source measurement's precision.
