About this calculator

L-shaped rooms split into two rectangles. Measure both legs of the L separately, then sum the areas. Watch the dimensions: the "width" of the smaller leg is the depth from the inside corner.

Frequently asked

Why split it?+
L-shapes don't have a single L×W. Splitting into two rectangles is the cleanest method.
Where to draw the boundary?+
At the inside corner of the L. Either rectangle can be the larger one — the math is the same.
For T-shapes or U-shapes?+
Same idea: split into rectangles. For more complex shapes, see square-footage-irregular.
Conversions?+
× 0.092903 = m². ÷ 9 = yd².
Wall length for an L-room?+
Sum the perimeter: 2(L1+W1) + 2(L2+W2) − 2×(shared interior wall).
