FAQ
What is exactly 1 pyeong in m²?
The legal conversion is 1 pyeong = 400/121 m² ≈ 3.3057851 m². In everyday use it's rounded to 3.3058 or 3.3; this tool uses the exact 400/121 ratio.
What's the difference between 전용 / 공급 / 계약 area?
전용면적 is the floor area inside your own unit. 공급면적 (= 분양면적) adds residential shared space like corridors and stairs. 계약면적 also folds in other shared facilities (underground parking, management offices). Listings labeled “24평형” usually mean the 공급면적.
Is the Korean pyeong the same as the Japanese tsubo (坪)?
Yes — same unit, same value (≈ 3.3058 m²). The two countries just use it in different contexts: Korean apartment sizes vs Japanese land/rent measurements.
Why does Korea still use pyeong if m² is the legal unit?
Listings have been required to use m² since 2007, but pyeong remains the more intuitive unit in conversation and ads. That's why most tools (and this one) show both side-by-side.
