This tool calculates the total square footage needed for your flooring project.
How to Use the Flooring Calculator
To use this flooring calculator, follow the steps below:
- Enter the length of the room in feet in the “Length” input.
- Enter the width of the room in feet in the “Width” input.
- Optionally, specify the percentage of extra material you want to account for waste. The default value is set to 10%.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the total flooring needed in square feet.
How the Calculation Works
The calculator computes the area by multiplying the length and width of the room. Then, it adds the specified percentage of extra materials to the total area to account for waste. The formula used is as follows:
Total Area = Length × Width
Total Flooring Needed = Total Area + (Total Area × Extra Material Percentage / 100)
Limitations
Please note that this calculator provides an estimate based on the information entered. Always consult with a flooring professional for detailed requirements and to ensure you have enough materials, especially if the room has an irregular shape or other considerations.
