Square Feet to Cubic Meter Calculator
Convert floor area to volume by multiplying by height. Enter square feet and ceiling height to obtain cubic meters, cubic feet, and litres for storage or HVAC sizing.
Area to volume calculator
Formulas: ft³ = ft² × height (ft); m³ = ft³ ÷ 35.3147; Litres = m³ × 1000.
Example scenarios
| Area (ft²) | Height (ft) | Volume (ft³) | Volume (m³) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120 | 8 | 960 | 27.19 |
| 220 | 9.5 | 2090 | 59.18 |
| 48 | 6 | 288 | 8.15 |
Use the m³ to ft² converter when you have volume first.
Planning tips
Convert uneven heights
Average stepped ceilings before converting. For mezzanines, split the calculation per level.
Feed into pallet calculators
Use the resulting CBM in the pallet cube calculator to balance pallet loads.
Keep unit consistency
Inputs must stay in feet. Convert metric measurements to feet first when needed (1 m = 3.28084 ft).
FAQ
How do I convert inches to feet before using this tool?
Divide inches by 12 to convert to feet, then enter the values above.
Can I get the answer in cubic feet as well?
Yes. The calculator outputs cubic feet alongside cubic meters so you can double-check both units.
