How to Use the Square Footage Calculator
Calculate the area of any space in square feet, whether it's a room, yard, or land parcel. Our calculator supports rectangles, circles, triangles, and L-shaped areas with instant conversions to square meters and acres. This is the first step for most home improvement projects.
Measurement Tips
- Measure length and width at the longest points for rectangles
- For circles, measure across the widest point (diameter)
- For L-shapes, break the area into two rectangles
- Always measure in the same units (feet or meters)
