How do I calculate sq ft?
The most common question beginners ask is, “How do I calculate sq ft?” It is easier than you think. To find the area of a standard space, you simply multiply the length by the width. Our ft to sq. ft calculator handles this conversion instantly, even if you are working with complex dimensions or multiple rooms.

How to calculate square feet of a room or wall
If you are learning how to calculate square feet of a room, start by measuring the two longest walls. For a wall, measure from the floor to the ceiling (height) and then from corner to corner (width). Our square footage calculator is perfect for finding the square footage of a wall so you can estimate paint or wallpaper without over-buying. Once you have your wall area, use our Brick & Mortar Calculator to find your exact material counts.

Remember that 1 square foot in inches is actually 144 square inches. If you have a measurement of 10 feet and 6 inches, enter it as 10.5 feet into the tool to get the correct area.
