Square feet to buy 184.8 ft²

How it works

to buy = length × width × (1 + waste)

Measure the room at its longest and widest points and multiply. Add 10% or so for seams, pattern matching and trimming. Carpet is often priced per square yard in the US: 9 ft² make 1 yd², so a price per square yard is 9 times the price per square foot.

  1. Room area 4.2672 × 3.6576 = 15.61 m²
  2. Add the waste 15.61 × (1 + 10 ÷ 100) = 17.17 m²
  3. In square feet 17.17 ÷ 0.09290304 = 184.8 ft²
