How to Use the Carpet Calculator
To accurately estimate your carpet needs:

Understanding Carpet Measurements
Carpet is typically sold in square feet or square yards. Our calculator provides results in square feet for easier comparison. Remember that carpet often comes in standard widths (usually 12 feet), which may affect your final quantity needed.
Tips for Accurate Estimation
For the most accurate estimate:
- Measure from wall to wall, not baseboard to baseboard
- Include closets and alcoves in your measurements
- Consider pattern matching when calculating waste factor
- Get current local prices for the most accurate cost estimate
