How to Calculate Square Footage?

Calculating the square footage of a room is essential for flooring, painting, and renovation projects. The basic formula is Length × Width = Area (sq. ft.). Our tool simplifies this process by allowing you to add multiple rooms and automatically summing the totals.

Why Include a Waste Factor?

When purchasing materials like tile, hardwood, or carpet, professionals recommend adding a "waste factor" (typically 5-15%). This accounts for cuts, breakage, and mistakes. This tool includes a default 10% waste factor which you can adjust based on your needs.

Using the Flooring Estimator

Simply enter your room dimensions and the price per square foot of your material. The calculator will instantly provide the total estimated cost, helping you budget accurately for your home improvement project.
