Carpet Area Formulas by Shape:

\[ \begin{cases} \text{Rectangle: } \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \\ \text{Circle: } \text{Area} = \pi \times \text{radius}^2 \\ \text{Ellipse: } \text{Area} = \text{axis A} \times \text{axis B} \times \pi \\ \text{Pentagon: } \text{Area} = \text{side}^2 \times \sqrt{25 + 10\sqrt{5}} / 4 \\ \text{Hexagon: } \text{Area} = \frac{3}{2} \times \sqrt{3} \times \text{side}^2 \end{cases} \] \[ \text{Cost} = \text{Area} \times \text{Price per unit area} \]

What is Carpet Calculator

Carpet calculators are specialized tools designed to simplify complex calculations involved in flooring projects, material estimation, and installation planning. They support critical tasks such as area measurement, carpet roll requirements, cost estimation, and waste calculation. By entering specific parameters—like room dimensions, carpet roll width, pattern repeat, and seam placement—users receive accurate material estimates tailored to their flooring projects and budget requirements. Advanced models often include features for irregular room shapes, staircase calculations, padding requirements, and installation labor estimates to enhance precision in project planning and cost management. Whether for residential renovation, commercial flooring projects, or professional installation services, these calculators provide reliable measurements to improve project efficiency and reduce material waste. Acting as both planning aids and practical tools, carpet calculators transform complex spatial calculations and material requirements into clear, actionable insights—empowering better project management and optimized resource allocation.
