Carpet Area Formula:
From: | To: |
The Super Built Up To Carpet Area conversion calculates the actual usable area (carpet area) from the total super built-up area of a property. This is important in real estate to understand the actual living space available.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The super ratio accounts for the proportion of common areas (like lobbies, staircases, elevators) that are included in the super built-up area but not part of the actual usable carpet area.
Details: Accurate carpet area calculation is crucial for property valuation, understanding actual usable space, and making informed real estate decisions. It helps buyers compare properties fairly and understand what they're actually paying for.
Tips: Enter the super built-up area in square meters and select an appropriate super ratio (typically 0.6-0.7). The ratio may vary based on building specifications and local regulations.
Q1: What is the difference between super built-up area and carpet area?
A: Super built-up area includes common spaces and external walls, while carpet area is the actual usable floor space within the unit where you can lay carpet.
Q2: Why does the super ratio vary between 0.6-0.7?
A: The ratio depends on the proportion of common areas in the building. Higher-end buildings with more amenities typically have lower ratios.
Q3: Is carpet area the same as net usable area?
A: Essentially yes, carpet area represents the net usable floor space excluding walls, balconies, and common areas.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides an estimate. For precise measurements, refer to the building's architectural plans or conduct physical measurements.
Q5: Does this calculation apply to commercial properties?
A: Yes, the same principle applies, though super ratios may differ for commercial spaces based on building design and usage.
