Which countries use square feet vs square meters?

Square feet dominate in the United States and are common in the UK, Canada and Australia alongside metric; most of the world, including Germany, lists in square meters. Always check which measure a listing uses.

Is price per area reliable across property types?

It is most meaningful within the same type and location band. Comparing land-heavy houses to compact apartments, or prime to fringe districts, misleads more than it informs.

Does the area include balconies or garages?

Measurement conventions differ by country and listing portal (gross vs net floor area). Verify what the quoted area actually covers before comparing.

How the Price Per Area works

Price per area (per square foot or square meter) is the fastest way to compare properties of different sizes, within a market, across neighborhoods, or between countries that use different measurement systems.

The calculator converts your entered area into every common unit using exact international factors, then divides the price by each. Because 1 ft = 0.3048 m exactly, conversions are deterministic with no rounding drift.

Careful: cross-market comparisons are only fair between similar property types. A per-square-foot number blends location, land share, condition and building efficiency into one figure.

Formula & terms

Price per area = Price ÷ Area, computed in each unit after exact conversion

Square meter: 0.3048 m × 0.3048 m = 0.09290304 sq ft exactly; 10.7639 sq ft.

Acre: 43,560 sq ft exactly; about 4,046.86 m².

Hectare: 10,000 m² exactly; about 2.471 acres.

Worked example

A $450,000 home offers 2,000 sq ft (about 185.81 m²).

Price per sq ft = 450,000 ÷ 2,000 = $225.00. Price per m² = 450,000 ÷ 185.81 ≈ $2,421.88.

A 150 m² apartment priced at €360,000 would be €2,400/m², directly comparable once both are normalized.

Assumptions & limitations

•Pure arithmetic on entered values; no quality adjustment or currency conversion.

Formula reference
