What is the Square Footage Calculator?

It is a tool that finds the area of a rectangle, circle, or triangle in square feet and square meters, then optionally multiplies by quantity and a price per unit area to estimate material cost.

How does the Square Footage Calculator handle circles and triangles?

For circles it uses π × radius², and for triangles it uses 0.5 × base × height, matching the shape you select before entering dimensions.

Can the Square Footage Calculator work in square meters instead of square feet?

Yes. Toggle the unit to meters before entering your dimensions, and the calculator converts internally so you still see the result in both square feet and square meters.

Does the Square Footage Calculator estimate material cost?

Yes, if you enter a price per unit area it multiplies that by the total area (including quantity) to show an estimated total cost — useful for flooring, tile, or paint budgeting.

Is the Square Footage Calculator accurate enough to order materials?

It gives a solid planning estimate based on the numbers you type. Always re-measure the actual space and verify quantities, including waste allowance, before placing an order.

About Square Footage Calculator

The Square Footage Calculator finds the area of a room or project in square feet and square meters, then multiplies by quantity and an optional price to estimate material cost. Pick rectangle, circle, or triangle, type in the measurements, and switch between feet and meters with a single toggle — the tool converts internally so you always see both units. It is built for flooring, tile, paint, carpet, turf, and other by-the-square-foot projects where you need a quick area and a rough budget before you shop. Add a quantity to cover multiple rooms of the same size, and a price per square foot or meter to see an estimated total cost. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your room dimensions never leave your device. Treat the total as an estimate — always re-measure and verify quantities before ordering materials.

How to use the Square Footage Calculator

Choose a shape: rectangle, circle, or triangle
Select feet or meters to match how you measured
Enter the dimensions for that shape
Add a quantity for multiple rooms and an optional price per unit area
Read the square footage, square meters, and estimated cost

Example

Input

12×10 ft, ×2 rooms

Output

240 sq ft

A 12×10 ft room doubled for two identical rooms totals 240 square feet.

Common errors & troubleshooting

Square footage looks ten times too small or too large. — Check the feet/meters toggle matches your tape measure — mixing units before switching gives a wrong area.
The tool shows an error instead of a result. — Every dimension for the selected shape must be a number greater than 0; a blank or 0 field blocks the calculation.
Total cost seems off for a multi-room project. — The price per unit area is multiplied by area × quantity, so confirm the quantity reflects how many identical rooms or sections you are pricing.
Circle area does not match a rough estimate. — Enter the radius (half the diameter), not the diameter — the calculator uses π × radius² for circles.
