This tool will help you quickly calculate the square footage of any area including inches for precise measurements.
How to Use the Square Footage Calculator
To use the calculator, follow these steps:
- Enter the length of the area in feet and inches in the first two input fields.
- Enter the width of the area in feet and inches in the next two input fields.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the result.
The result will be displayed in the “Result” field as square feet.
Explanation of the Calculation
The calculator works by converting all dimensions to inches. It then calculates the square footage as follows:
- Convert feet to inches:
totalLength = (lengthFt * 12) + lengthIn
- Convert feet to inches:
totalWidth = (widthFt * 12) + widthIn
- Calculate the area in square inches:
totalSquareInches = totalLength * totalWidth
- Convert square inches to square feet:
totalSquareFeet = totalSquareInches / 144
Limitations
Please note the following limitations:
- The calculator does not handle negative inputs. All dimensions must be positive numbers.
- Inches must be between 0 and 11. For full feet, use the feet input field.
- Results are rounded to two decimal places.
