Carpet Worksheet

Whether you’re covering the floor in your family room or your bedroom, The Home Depot can help you estimate the number of square feet of carpet you’ll need.

  • Room size

    With a steel measuring tape, measure and record the width and length of your floor.

    • Width:ft.in.
    • Length:ft.in.

    If the room has extra nooks, closets etc., that will need to be carpeted, be sure to make a note of those measurements as well.

  • Start calculating

    To calculate the number of square feet of carpet you’ll need, simply multiply the width of your room by the length of your room. To calculate the square yards, divide the square feet by 9.

  • Square feet:
    • Width XLength =square feet
  • Square yards:
    • Width XLength ÷ 9 =square yards

    Increase the results by 10 percent to account for rooms that have baseboards or thresholds.

    Now that you know exactly what you need, head to The Home Depot for a wide selection of carpets for any floor in your home.
