Carpet Area Formula:
| From: | To: |
The conversion from super built-up area to carpet area calculates the actual usable floor space within a property by applying a fraction multiplier to the total built-up area that includes common spaces and walls.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The carpet fraction accounts for the proportion of total area that is actually usable living space, excluding walls, common areas, and other non-usable spaces.
Details: Accurate carpet area calculation is crucial for property valuation, space planning, furniture arrangement, and understanding the actual usable living space in real estate transactions.
Tips: Enter super built-up area in square meters and the carpet fraction multiplier (typically between 0.7-0.8). All values must be valid positive numbers with fraction between 0 and 1.
Q1: What is the typical carpet fraction value?
A: The carpet fraction typically ranges from 0.7 to 0.8, meaning 70-80% of the super built-up area is usable carpet area.
Q2: How does carpet area differ from built-up area?
A: Carpet area is the actual usable floor space, while built-up area includes walls, common areas, and other non-usable spaces.
Q3: Why is this conversion important in real estate?
A: It helps buyers understand the actual usable space they're getting and allows for accurate comparison between different properties.
Q4: Does the carpet fraction vary by building type?
A: Yes, the fraction can vary based on building design, number of common areas, wall thickness, and architectural features.
Q5: Should this calculation be used for legal purposes?
A: For official property transactions and legal documentation, always rely on certified measurements from qualified professionals.
