Square Feet to Square Yards
The square foot is used throughout the US and UK to describe the floor area of homes and offices. A square yard is 9 square feet, commonly used to measure carpet and turf in the US and UK. 1 ft² equals ≈0.111111 yd², so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to area, measured here against area's base unit (m²) — every other area unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
yd² = ft² × ≈0.111111
ft² = yd² × 9
Worked example: 5 ft² × ≈0.111111 = ≈0.555556 yd².
