Cubic Meter to Square Feet Calculator
Convert volume (m³) into floor area (ft²) by dividing by height. Enter your cubic meters and the ceiling or stack height to get square feet and square meters instantly.
Volume to area calculator
Formulas: area m² = volume m³ ÷ height (m); convert to ft² by multiplying by 10.7639.
Worked examples
| Volume (m³) | Height (m) | Area (m²) | Area (ft²) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12.5 | 2.6 | 4.808 | 51.74 |
| 30.0 | 3.2 | 9.375 | 100.92 |
| 7.2 | 1.5 | 4.800 | 51.67 |
Use the reverse calculator when you start from floor area.
Planning notes
Set a realistic height
Use the lowest allowable height (e.g., clear to sprinkler or beam) to avoid overestimating floor area.
Check pallet layout
Compare the resulting ft² with the TI-HI calculator to model pallet counts per zone.
