Carpet Calculator
Estimate carpet in square yards with cost included.
Carpet is estimated in square feet and square yards: measure each room's length × width, add 5–10% for cuts and seams, then divide square feet by 9 for square yards. Broadloom comes in 12 ft widths, so rooms wider than 12 ft need a seam and extra material. Enter your room dimensions for square yards, rolls and padding.
How does the carpet calculator work?
Carpet is priced by the square yard. Convert your area from ft² to yd² by dividing by 9, then multiply by price per yard. Add 10% for seam waste and cuts.
