Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • 1 ft² ≈ 0.0929 m². To convert m² to ft², multiply by 10.76.
  • For quick mental estimates: 100 ft² ≈ 10 m² (exact: 9.29 m²).
  • Commercial leases quote annual rate per ft² — confirm inclusive or per-year.

Avoid these

  • Reading a UK property listing's "sq ft" as UK imperial square feet — they are identical to US.
  • Treating 1 ft² as just over 1 m² — actually ten times smaller.
  • Using ft² and ft interchangeably — one is area, the other length.
