Price per Square Meter Calculator

Find the unit price per m² of a property.

Result

How it is calculated

The tool computes price per m² = total price ÷ area, where the total price is the full asking or sale price and the area is the floor area in square metres. The result is rounded to two decimals and displayed with a dollar sign, whatever currency you actually typed in, so read the figure in your own currency. The area must be greater than zero; an area of 0 gives no result. Nothing is added or removed for fees, taxes or shared spaces: if a listing quotes gross area and you divide by net area (or the other way round), the answer changes. Rules for how area is measured differ by country, so compare like with like.

Worked example

A flat is offered for 350000 and has 85 m². Divide the price by the area: 350000 ÷ 85 = 4117.647... Rounded to two decimals the tool shows $4,117.65 per square metre. A second flat at 420000 with 100 m² works out to 4200 per m², so the first one is slightly cheaper per square metre even though its total price is lower and its size smaller.

Common mistakes

  • Mixing gross and net area. Dividing by the gross figure from one listing and the net figure from another makes two flats look different when they are not.
  • Entering the area in square feet while comparing against m² prices. 1 m² is about 10.76 sq ft, so the result would be roughly ten times too small.
  • Typing a monthly rent or a deposit in the price field and treating the result as a purchase price per m².
  • Reading the dollar sign as a conversion. The tool does not change currency; it only prefixes $ to the number.
  • Using the total price including furniture, parking or fees while comparing with listings that exclude them.

About this calculator

This tool divides a property's total price by its floor area to get the price per square meter (price ÷ area), the standard unit real estate agents, appraisers, and buyers use to compare listings of different sizes on an equal footing.

It's used when comparing two apartments of different square footage, checking whether an asking price is in line with the neighborhood average, or working out how much an extra room or extension would add to a property's value. The calculator simply divides the numbers you enter, so the same logic works whether you're pricing a studio flat or an entire commercial lot. The result is always shown with a $ sign, whatever currency you used, so read it as your own currency; enter the area in square meters to get a price per square meter.

    One listing gives a number; several give a picture. Run the tool for four or five comparable homes and look at the spread before judging any single price. Once you have a typical figure, you can turn it around for a rough budget: at 4,200 per square metre, a 90 square metre home would sit near 378,000. Keep the area basis the same each time, all gross or all net. Which city or district are you comparing, and which area measure do listings use there?
