Overview

The Pyeong Calculator converts between square meters (㎡) and pyeong (坪), the traditional Korean unit of area measurement. While square meters are the official unit in Korean real estate, pyeong remains widely used in everyday conversations. One pyeong equals approximately 3.3058㎡. This tool helps you accurately convert areas for apartments, offices, and commercial properties. When browsing Korean real estate listings, property sizes are displayed in square meters for exclusive area, supply area, and contract area, but most Koreans intuitively understand size in pyeong. This calculator provides not only simple conversion but also quick references for popular apartment sizes (59㎡, 74㎡, 84㎡, 114㎡), making it invaluable for new construction sales, resale transactions, and lease agreements.

Formula

Pyeong = Square meters (㎡) ÷ 3.3058
Square meters (㎡) = Pyeong × 3.3058

Example: 84㎡ apartment → 84 ÷ 3.3058 ≈ 25.4 pyeong
Exclusive area 59㎡ → 59 ÷ 3.3058 ≈ 17.8 pyeong

How to Use

1. 1Select the conversion direction (㎡ → pyeong or pyeong → ㎡).
2. 2Enter the area value you want to convert.
3. 3Click the calculate button to see the converted area.
4. 4You can also convert multiple area types (exclusive area, supply area) at once.

Background

Pyeong (坪) is an area unit originating from the Japanese measurement system, introduced to Korea around 1909 during the Korean Empire period. One pyeong equals the area of two tatami mats (approximately 1.818m x 1.818m = 3.3058㎡). The Korean government adopted the metric system in 1961 and legally prohibited the use of pyeong in real estate advertisements from 2007. However, over a century of usage has made it deeply ingrained in Korean culture, and it remains widely used in everyday real estate conversations. Real estate agents still commonly display both ㎡ and pyeong side by side.

Tips

• ✔Convert the exclusive area (㎡) from property listings to pyeong to better grasp the actual size.
• ✔Understand the difference between exclusive area and supply area, and check the exclusive ratio.
• ✔84㎡ (about 25 pyeong) is the most popular apartment size in Korea, known as the 'national size'.
• ✔One pyeong is roughly the size of two tatami mats, or the space for two adults to lie down.
• ✔Official real estate contracts always use ㎡, so verify exact measurements before signing.
