Carpet Calculator
Calculate the amount of carpet needed for your room or space. Enter room dimensions, select carpet roll width, and include padding options to get accurate estimates for materials and costs.
Room Area = Length × Width
Carpet Linear Feet = Room dimension / Carpet roll width
Carpet Area = Linear Feet × Roll Width
Total Carpet = Carpet Area × (1 + Waste%/100)
Square Yards = Total Carpet / 9
Padding Area = Total Carpet (if included)
Example:
Room: 15 ft × 12 ft = 180 sq ft
Carpet Roll: 12 ft wide
Waste: 10%
Include Padding: Yes
Room fits in 12 ft width
Linear Feet = 15 ft
Carpet Area = 15 × 12 = 180 sq ft
With Waste = 180 × 1.10 = 198 sq ft
Square Yards = 198 / 9 = 22 sq yd
Padding = 198 sq ft = 22 sq yd
