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.
