Find the total square footage of one or many areas. Add each room or area, choose its shape, and the calculator totals the square feet. Add an optional price per square foot for a quick material cost.

Square footage is area. For a rectangular room, multiply length by width. For a triangle, take one half of the base times the height. For a circle, use pi times the radius squared, where the radius is half the diameter. Add up every area to get the project total.
For irregular spaces, break the floor plan into simple rectangles, triangles and circles, calculate each, and sum them—exactly what the table above does when you add rows. To convert the total, divide by 9 for square yards or by 43,560 for acres. Multiply by a price per square foot to estimate flooring, paint or tile cost.
