Area Calculator in Feet and Inches

Select the Room (Feet + Inches) or Rectangle (Feet + Inches) shape to enter each dimension the way a tape measure reads it: a whole-feet field and a separate inches field. For a wall measuring 10 ft 6 in, enter 10 in the feet field and 6 in the inches field. The calculator converts feet plus inches divided by 12 into decimal feet before computing the area, so you do not need to convert manually.

Leave the inches field at 0 for measurements that land on an exact foot. Results display instantly in square feet, square inches, square yards, square meters, and acres.

Frequently Asked Questions

Select Room (Feet + Inches) or Rectangle (Feet + Inches). Each dimension has a feet field and an inches field. For 10 ft 6 in, enter 10 in feet and 6 in inches. No conversion needed on your end.
You do not have to. The calculator converts feet-and-inches fields to decimal feet (feet + inches ÷ 12) before multiplying length by width.
Yes. If a dimension is a whole number of feet, leave inches at 0 or blank. The area still computes correctly from the feet value alone.
The usual mistake is treating inches like tenths of a foot. Remember 12 inches = 1 foot, not 10. Another is skipping fractional inches (3/4 in = 0.75 in or 0.0625 ft). Double-check before you order materials.
Divide square inches by 144 (12 × 12 = 144). For example, 1,440 sq in ÷ 144 = 10 sq ft. The calculator shows both units automatically.
