Calculate a Rectangle Area

Even though the math is annoying, I have had much, MUCH better results with 2.5 feet. Also, that's the width of interior doors in a house (though front doors are 3 feet). If you use 2 feet, rooms turnout looking too large. If you use 3 feet, they're ridiculously small. I may be alone on this, but I've had great results using 2.

Calculator Use

Use this calculator to find the square footage, square yardage, square meters or acres for a building, home, garden or construction project. Calculate square footage, yardage, meters and acres for landscape, flooring, carpet, or tiling projects to estimate area and the amount of material you will need. Also calculate the cost of materials when you enter the price per square foot, price per square yard or price per square meter.

Price is entered in the fields, for example, as
$ price: 3.00 per: 1 square unit: foot (ft²)
meaning $3.00 per 1 square foot
or
$ price: 25.00 per: 1000 square unit: foot (ft²)
meaning $25.00 per 1000 square feet
etc ....

If you want to calculate volume of bulk materials such as mulch or gravel you should use our calculator for cubic yards and cubic meters.

Enter measurements in US units or metric units. Calculate area from your measurements in inches (in), feet (ft), yards (yd), millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), or meters (m). You can also enter decimal values. For example, if you have one measurement that is 7'3' you can enter that as 7.25 feet (3'/12' = 0.25 ft). If you have a measurement of 245 cm you can also enter that as 2.45 m.

A square footage calculator is an automated program used to calculate the number of square feet of a given area. Square footage is calculated by multiplying width by length or width by height. Typically in the US, feet, and inches are used for measuring. How to calculate square footage? Determine the width and length. Length can also be height. If you have a piece of land that is a perfect square of 5 acres it would be four equal sides of 466.7 feet. The total number of square feet for a piece of land that is 5 acres is 217800. The number 43,560 is a constant used to convert square feet to acres. Using the example above, 12,650/43,560 would equal a land plot with 0.29 acres. To find square feet, multiply the length measurement in feet by the width measurement in feet. This yields a product called the area, which is expressed in square feet (or square inches if you are calculating a much smaller space, such as a dollhouse). For example, if you are buying carpet for a room that is 12-feet long and 10-feet wide.

How to Calculate Square Footage

Square footage is area expressed in square feet. Likewise, square yardage is area expressed in square yards. Square meters is also a common measure of area.

Assume you have a rectangular area such as a room and, for example, you want to calculate the square footage area for flooring or carpet.

The way to calculate a rectangular area is by measuring the length and width of your area then multiplying those two numbers together to get the area in feet squared (ft²). If you have on oddly shaped area, such as an L-shape, split it into square or rectanglualar sections and treat them as two separate areas. Calculate the area of each section then add them together for your total. If your measurements are in different units, say feet and inches, you can first convert those values to feet, then multiply them together to get the square footage of the area.

Measure

• Measure the sides of your area

Convert all of your measurements to feet

• If you measured in feet skip to 'Calculate the Area as Square Footage'
• If you measured in feet & inches, divide inches by 12 and add that to your feet measure to get total feet
• If you measured in another unit of measure, do the following to convert to feet
  - inches: divide by 12 and that is your measurement in feet
  - yards: multiply by 3 and that is your measurement in feet
  - centimeters: multiply by 0.03281 to convert to feet
  - meters: multiply by 3.281 to convert to feet

Calculate the Area as Square Footage

• If you are measuring a square or rectangle area, multiply length times width; Length x Width = Area.
• For other area shapes, see formulas below to calculate Area (ft²) = Square Footage.

Convert among square inch, square foot, square yard and square meter

You could, for example, perform all of your measurements in inches or centimeters, calculate area in square inches or square centimeters then convert your final answer to the unit you need such as square feet or square meters.

To convert among square feet, yards and meters use the following conversion factors. For other units use our calculator for area conversions.
