Simple rectangle area

Multiply length by width to get square metres. If area and one side are known, divide area by that side.

Choose the next tool only when needed

Tile, concrete, gravel and decking calculations need additional inputs. The route block links to those specialist calculators without delaying the basic result.

Important limit

This page calculates geometry only and does not assume openings, waste, material density or structural requirements.

When one rectangle is not enough

For a rectangular area, convert both dimensions to metres and multiply them. Repeated pieces are handled the same way: find the area of one piece, then multiply by the quantity. If a wall, floor or plot has an irregular outline, split it into simple rectangles or triangles, calculate each part and add the results. A total area by itself does not determine one unique length and width, and room volume is a different calculation because height is also required.
