This Square Footage Calculator helps you calculate area for rooms, flooring, paint, and renovation planning. Pick a shape (rectangle, triangle, or circle), choose feet or meters, and instantly get total area in sq ft and sq m.

Bonus outputs help with real projects: an estimated total cost, paint gallons, and flooring boxes.

Visual Analysis

How It Works

We use standard geometry formulas:

  • Rectangle: length × width
  • Triangle: ½ × base × height
  • Circle: π × radius²

Then we multiply by the number of rooms and convert between square feet and square meters.

Worked Examples

Example 1: 12×10 ft room

Inputs

shape1
length12
width10
height8
radius5
rooms1
unit1
cost per sqft3

Results

area sqft120
area sqm11.15
total cost360

Rectangle area = 12 × 10 = 120 sq ft.

Example 2: Two rooms, 4m × 3m each (meters)

Inputs

shape1
length4
width3
height8
radius5
rooms2
unit2
cost per sqft2.5

Results

area sqm24
area sqft258.33
total cost645.82

Each room = 12 sq m. Two rooms = 24 sq m = ~258.33 sq ft.

Example 3: Circular patio with radius 5 ft

Inputs

shape3
length12
width10
height8
radius5
rooms1
unit1
cost per sqft4

Results

area sqft78.54
area sqm7.3
total cost314.16

Circle area = π × 5² ≈ 78.54 sq ft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Multiply the room’s length by its width. Example: 12 ft × 10 ft = 120 sq ft.

1 square meter is about 10.7639 square feet.

Calculate the area of one room and multiply by the number of rooms. If rooms differ in size, calculate each separately and add them.

A common estimate is about 350 sq ft per gallon per coat. Surfaces, texture, and paint type can change coverage.

Divide total square footage by the coverage per box (often 20 sq ft). Always add extra (waste factor) for cuts and mistakes.

Yes. For flooring, many people add 5–15% extra depending on room shape and installation pattern.

Square feet are commonly used in the USA. Square meters are used in most other countries. This calculator shows both.

Yes. Use the circle or triangle mode and enter the required measurements.
