Use square footage for a room, then move into flooring, paint, tile, or unit conversion when you need a more specific estimate.

How it works

The basic square footage formula.

For a rectangle or square, multiply length by width. If you measure in inches, yards, or meters, convert to feet first.

Square feet = length in feet x width in feet
12 ft x 10 ft 120 square feet
15 ft x 14 ft 210 square feet
20 ft x 12 ft 240 square feet
