Hi there, I *think* the area calculations are always in the unit for the layer's CRS. So you could either: - find out what this unit is, and convert the areas to square feet by multiplying by the correct factor, or - convert the layer to a CRS which uses square feet. N.B. there is a feature request to enable coordinate conversion in the field calculator (although I didn't mention that it would be useful also for area and length calculations). See http://hub.qgis.org/issues/4078
