About this calculator
Use the Square Calculator to find the area and perimeter of the shape. It reads your side length, computes the area and perimeter with standard area and perimeter formulas, and shows the result clearly labelled. Because the calculation happens in your browser, your figures never leave the page and there is nothing to install.
Built with students, designers and DIYers in mind, it keeps the workflow to a single step and shows the area and perimeter without clutter. There are no accounts, and your inputs stay in your browser and are never uploaded.
How to use
- Enter the length of one side.
- Press Calculate to find the square's measurements.
- Read the area, perimeter, and diagonal of the square.
- Press Reset to try a different side.

All arithmetic runs in your browser using double-precision floating point, so extreme inputs may show tiny rounding differences.
FAQ
How is the diagonal of a square calculated?
The diagonal equals the side length times the square root of 2, about 1.4142 times the side.
How do area and perimeter of a square relate to the side?
The area is the side squared and the perimeter is four times the side.
Is a square just a special rectangle?
Yes. A square is a rectangle whose length and width are equal, so all four sides match.
Does the Square Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Square Calculator runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or shared.
Worked example
A square of side 6: area = 6² = 36, perimeter = 4 × 6 = 24, diagonal = 6√2 = 8.49.
