About this calculator
The Perimeter Calculator is a browser-based tool that helps you find the perimeter of a shape. You enter your shape, length, width and side, and it applies the shape's perimeter formula to return the perimeter. Everything runs locally — no sign-up, no uploads, nothing stored — so it stays fast and private.
It's aimed at students, designers and DIYers: give it your shape, length, width and side and the perimeter comes back clearly labelled, with tidy, easy-to-read numbers. The tool is free, ad-light, and keeps everything in your browser.
How to use
- Choose the shape you want the perimeter of.
- Fill in the dimensions for that shape only.
- Press Calculate to find the perimeter.
- Read the perimeter (or circumference for a circle).

FAQ
Which shapes can this calculate the perimeter of?
It covers rectangles, squares, circles, triangles, and regular polygons; choose the shape, then enter its dimensions.
Why does a circle show circumference instead of perimeter?
Circumference is simply the name for the distance around a circle, so that label is used for circles.
Do I need to fill in every field?
No. Only fill in the fields for the shape you selected; the others are ignored.
Does the Perimeter Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Perimeter Calculator runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or shared.
Worked example
Perimeter of a rectangle 8 m × 5 m = 2 × (8 + 5) = 26 m.
