m², ft², acres shortcuts.
Property listings, floor plans, and land records use different area units depending on the country: square metres in most of the world, square feet in the US and UK, acres and hectares for land. These converters make like-for-like comparison simple.
Area factors are the square of the corresponding length factors: 1 ft² = 0.09290304 m² exactly, 1 acre = 4046.8564224 m², and 1 hectare = 10,000 m². For irregular plots, convert the total area rather than converting each side and multiplying, to avoid compounding rounding.
