How To Convert Price Per Square Meter To Price Per Square Foot

When getting a price based on area, like carpet or painting services, you may get a quote based on square meters. To figure out the cost per square foot, you can use a simple conversion factor.

1. Determine the Price Per Square Meter

Simplify the price to the price per a single square meter. This is done by dividing the given price by the given number of square meters. For example, if the price is $100 per 10 square meters, it would be reduced to $10 per square meter.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)

In some cases, the price per square meter is only an estimate of the actual cost of a service or product. Factors other than surface area may cause the actual price per square meter to increase or decrease. Contact the company providing the service or product to determine if the price per square meter is a set price for all clients and situations.
