This dual-direction calculator converts unit cost quoted in $ per square metre (m²) to $ per square foot (ft²) or the reverse, letting builders, estimators, and suppliers compare pricing across metric and imperial bid documents without manual math.
one square foot (ft²) = 0.09290304 square metres (m²) one square metre (m²) = 10.7639104167097 square feet (ft²)
The quote for some work you need to have done comes with a hefty looking per square metre price. A square metre cost has little meaning to you, so you would like to have this per square metre price converted into a square foot cost.
The quoted price is $68,39 per square metre.
68.39 * 0.0929 = 6.35. The per square foot cost is $6.35
\(1\ \text{m}^2 = 10.7639104167\ \text{ft}^2\)
\(1\ \text{ft}^2 = 0.09290304\ \text{m}^2\)
\[ \text{Price}_{\small ft^2}\;=\; \frac{\text{Price}_{\small m^2}}{10.7639104167} \] \[ \text{Price}_{\small m^2}\;=\; \text{Price}_{\small ft^2}\times 10.7639104167 \]
Given \( \text{Price}_{\small m^2}= \$68.39/\text{m}^2 \): \[ \text{Price}_{\small ft^2}= \frac{68.39}{10.7639104167}\approx \$6.35/\text{ft}^2 \]
Given \( \text{Price}_{\small m^2}= \$120.00/\text{m}^2 \): \[ \text{Price}_{\small ft^2}= \frac{120.00}{10.7639104167}\approx \$11.15/\text{ft}^2 \]
Given \( \text{Price}_{\small ft^2}= \$8.50/\text{ft}^2 \): \[ \text{Price}_{\small m^2}=8.50\times 10.7639104167 \approx \$91.49/\text{m}^2 \]
Given \( \text{Price}_{\small ft^2}= \$14.37/\text{ft}^2 \): \[ \text{Price}_{\small m^2}=14.37\times 10.7639104167 \approx \$154.68/\text{m}^2 \]
