Enter the price ($) and the total area (m^2) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Price Per Sqm. 

Price Per Sqm Formula

PPm2 = P / A

Variables:

  • PPm2 is the Price Per Sqm ($/sqm)
  • P is the price ($)
  • A is the total area (m^2)

To calculate the Price Per Sqm, divide the total price by the area in square meters (sqm, m^2).

How to Calculate Price Per Sqm?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Price Per Sqm.


  1. First, determine the price ($). 
  2. Next, determine the total area (m^2). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = PPm2 = P / A.
  4. Finally, calculate the Price Per Sqm.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

price ($) = 443

total area (m^2) = 129

FAQs

What is the significance of calculating Price Per Sqm?

Calculating Price Per Sqm helps in comparing the cost effectiveness of different properties or materials by standardizing the price to a per square meter basis. This is especially useful in real estate to compare the value of properties with different sizes and prices.

Can the Price Per Sqm formula be used for any type of area measurement?

Yes, the Price Per Sqm formula can be adapted for different units of area measurement (e.g., square feet, square yards, square centimeters) by ensuring the price and area are in compatible units. The concept remains the same, but the units may need conversion for consistency.

How can inaccuracies in calculating Price Per Sqm be avoided?

Inaccuracies can be avoided by ensuring that the total price and area are correctly measured and entered into the formula. Double-checking calculations and using a reliable calculator, like the ones provided in the links, can also help ensure accuracy.

Is it possible to calculate Price Per Sqm for irregularly shaped areas?

Yes, it is possible to calculate Price Per Sqm for irregularly shaped areas by first accurately determining the total area in square meters. This might require more complex area calculation methods or tools, especially for non-rectangular shapes.
