Use this tool to easily calculate the square footage of your shower area.
How to Use the Shower Square Footage Calculator
This calculator helps you determine the square footage of your shower area. Follow these instructions to use the calculator correctly:
- Enter the length of your shower area in feet.
- Enter the width of your shower area in feet.
- Optionally, enter the height of your shower area if you want to consider the walls and ceiling’s square footage.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the total square footage.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator takes the following steps to determine the square footage:
- If only the length and width are provided, it multiplies these two values to get the floor area (Length x Width).
- If the height is also provided, it calculates the wall area and ceiling area and adds them to the floor area using the following formula:
Total Square Footage = (Length x Width) + 2(Height x Length) + 2(Height x Width)
Limitations of the Calculator
Please be aware of the following limitations:
- This calculator only supports rectangular or square-shaped shower areas.
- The height parameter is optional and can be left out if you only need the floor area.
- All dimensions must be entered in feet.
