How it works

Rectangle = length × width, circle = π × radius², and L-shape = overall area minus the cut-out rectangle. Results convert to square meters and square yards automatically.

Irregular space? Split it into rectangles and add the areas, or use L-shape mode for a simple notch.

FAQs

How do I calculate square footage?

Multiply length by width for rectangles; for circles use π × radius². The tool handles L-shapes too.

How do I measure an L-shaped room?

Enter the overall length and width, then subtract the missing corner as a cut-out.

How much extra material should I buy?

Add 5–10% for cuts and waste on most flooring and tile projects.

Square feet to square yards?

Divide square feet by 9. Carpet is often sold by the square yard.
