Carpet Calculator takes your room length, room width and waste % and gives back the area in sq ft and sq yd, applying room length × width plus waste %. It's a quick, browser-based way to estimate carpet area.
Estimate only — not engineering or contractor advice. Quantities depend on the area, the product size and the waste % you enter, plus cuts, layout and openings, so confirm sizes with your supplier.

FAQ
Why does the Carpet Calculator show square yards?
Carpet is frequently priced by the square yard, so the area is divided by 9 to show both units.
Does the Carpet Calculator send my room size anywhere?
No. The Carpet Calculator runs in your browser and the room figures are never uploaded.
How much waste should I allow?
A small percentage covers trimming and matching; tighter rooms with offsets may need a little more.
Does it handle an L-shaped room?
It assumes a rectangle; for an L-shape, split the room into rectangles and add the areas.
