How to calculate a room’s area
- Measure length and width (in meters or feet).
- Multiply them: 4 m × 3.5 m = 14 m².
- Convert: 14 × 10.764 = 150.7 sq ft.
If you measured in centimeters or inches, convert first with our cm to m or inches to feet tools.
Carpet area vs built-up area
Listings may quote different areas. Carpet area is the usable floor inside walls; built-up area adds wall thickness and balconies; super built-up adds a share of common areas. Always ask which one is quoted.
