Calculate rooms, walls, and floors

Choose a rectangle, square, triangle, or circle to match the surface. Enter measurements in millimeters, centimeters, meters, inches, or feet and get both m² and ft².

Formulas and example

A rectangle uses length × width, a triangle uses base × height ÷ 2, and a circle uses π × radius². A 5 m by 4 m room is 20 m², approximately 215.28 ft².

Irregular areas and cost

Split an irregular surface into simple shapes, calculate each part, and add the results. The optional price is applied per m²; allow separately for cuts, waste, or installation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a room or wall area?

For a rectangle, multiply length by width, or wall width by height. Keep both measurements in the same unit.

What is the difference between m² and ft²?

They are different area units. One square meter is approximately 10.764 square feet.

How do I measure an irregular area?

Divide it into simple shapes, calculate each area, and add the results. This tool calculates one shape at a time.

Does the circle use diameter or radius?

The input uses radius; area is calculated as π × radius².
