How the Square Footage Calculator Works

Square footage measures the area of a space in square feet. It's used for flooring, painting, carpeting, real estate listings, and construction estimates.

Formulas

Rectangle: Area = Length × Width
Circle: Area = π × Radius²
Triangle: Area = ½ × Base × Height
Multiple Rooms: Area = Sum of each room's Length × Width

Unit Conversions

Square Yards = Square Feet ÷ 9
Square Meters = Square Feet ÷ 10.764

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate square footage of an irregular room?

Split the room into simple rectangles or triangles, calculate each area separately, then add them together. The "Multiple Rooms" mode above handles this for up to 4 sections.

How many square feet are in a square yard?

One square yard equals 9 square feet, since a yard is 3 feet and area scales by the square of the length (3 × 3 = 9).

Why do real estate listings use square footage?

Square footage gives buyers a standardized way to compare the size of homes and rooms regardless of shape or layout.
