Square Footage Calculator
Calculate square footage, perimeter, and material costs for rooms, floors, walls, and land areas. Perfect for flooring, painting, tiling, and construction projects.
Step 1: Room Dimensions
How to Measure
Measure the length and width of your room in feet. For irregular shapes, break them down into rectangles and add them together. Always add 5-10% extra for material waste.
Step 2: Material & Costs
Common Material Costs
Flooring: $2-8/sq ft, Carpet: $3-6/sq ft, Tile: $4-15/sq ft, Hardwood: $8-15/sq ft. Labor costs are typically 50-100% of material costs.
