When viewing an 84㎡ apartment, you can quickly understand it's about 25 pyeong. Converting to pyeong helps you intuitively judge if the size fits your family.
Calculate individual room areas like living room 6 pyeong, master bedroom 4 pyeong, small room 3 pyeong to efficiently plan furniture layout and budget.
When comparing multiple properties, converting official square meter measurements to pyeong makes it easier to compare actual perceived sizes.
Exclusive area refers to the actual living space only, while supply area includes common areas like stairs and hallways. Typically, supply area is about 30% larger than exclusive area.
Extended balconies are included in exclusive area, but non-extended balconies are excluded. For homes built after 2005, balconies are classified as service area and listed separately.
For most accurate measurements, measure pure wall-to-wall distance without furniture. If impossible, estimate and add the distance to the wall behind furniture.
Pyeong has been a traditional area unit since the Joseon Dynasty. While officially square meters are used, pyeong remains more intuitive and familiar in everyday conversation.
For accurate calculations, express up to two decimal places. For example, 84㎡ is exactly 25.41 pyeong, but in daily conversation, it's typically rounded to '25-pyeong type'.
For multi-level homes (duplex, maisonette, etc.), sum the area of each floor to get total area. However, low-ceiling attics or lofts may be excluded or partially included.
1 pyeong equals exactly 400/121 square meters, or approximately 3.3058㎡. This figure was established when weights and measures were unified during the Japanese colonial period and remains widely used in the Korean real estate market today. Conversely, 1㎡ equals approximately 0.3025 pyeong. For example, an 84㎡ apartment equals 25.41 pyeong, 59㎡ equals 17.85 pyeong, and 33㎡ equals 9.98 pyeong.
Several area concepts are used interchangeably in the Korean real estate market. Exclusive area (전용면적) is the interior-only area representing actual living space. Supply area (공급면적) adds common areas like stairs and hallways to the exclusive area. Contract area (계약면적) further includes underground parking and other common areas. Service area (서비스면적) is bonus space like balconies not included in the sale price. Note that the "25-pyeong type" seen in real estate ads typically refers to the supply area.
When purchasing or subscribing to an apartment, the most important figure is the exclusive area, as this represents your actual living space. A unit with 84㎡ of exclusive area typically has a supply area of about 110-120㎡, which equals roughly 33-36 pyeong. Taxes (acquisition tax, property tax) are also calculated based on exclusive area, so always confirm the exclusive area before signing a contract.
