Square Foot to Square Yard Definition

Ever tried shopping for carpet or tile when you only have the square footage of a room? Figuring out how many square yards are in a square foot can be a hassle, since most flooring is sold by the square yard, instead of the square foot. Before you head out, use our free online Square Foot to Square Yard Calculator to make your shopping less of a pain.

Quick and Easy

Converting from square feet to square yards can sometimes be tricky, but this tool makes it a snap. Input the amount of square feet you have (remember, multiply length by width to get this) and hit calculate. It makes measuring for flooring easier than ever!

It’s also helpful for plotting out landscaping, especially for smaller yards. It can also help with building retaining walls for elevated yards or plots of land.

Example:

Take a bedroom 15 feet by 10 feet. Multiply 15 by 10 to get 150 square feet.Instead of having to break out the pen and paper to divide the length and width by 3, just punch ‘150’ into the online calculator and you get your answer: 16.67. Take that with you to the hardware store to make shopping for tile (check out the Tile Calculator) or carpet (Carpet Calculator) that much easier.

1 square foot = 0.1111 square yards.
1 square yard = 9 square feet.
1 square yard= 1,296 square inches.

Imperial Units

Though much of the English-speaking world has switched to square meters for area, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada still use the square yard for area. Its only real use nowadays is measuring the interior dimensions of a space, such as a room or garage. However, it still also has a use in sewing, as most clothing fabric is sold from bolts that are one yard wide

A useful conversion between Imperial and metric units of area is:

1 square yard equals 0.8361 square meters.
1 square meter equals 1.195 square yards.
