This tool helps you quickly calculate the square footage of your bathroom for planning and renovation purposes.
How to Use the Bathroom Square Footage Calculator
Enter the dimensions of your bathroom in feet, including the length and width. If your bathroom has niches, enter the number and average dimensions of these niches. Press the “Calculate” button to see the total area, the area of the niches, and the net area of the bathroom without the niches.
Calculation Description
The calculator multiplies the length by the width to get the total area. It then calculates the total area taken up by any niches using the niche dimensions and subtracts this from the total area to get the net bathroom area.
Limitations
This calculator assumes all niches are rectangular and of the same size. It provides estimates only and results may vary based on actual bathroom layout and precise measurements.
