Price per square foot calculator
Calculate price per square foot only after confirming what the stated area includes. Keep land area, built-up area, carpet area and saleable area clearly labelled.
Define the denominator
Do not mix different area types
A square-foot rate changes when the underlying area definition changes. Ask what the quoted area represents and compare only matching measurements.
How to use the calculator
One area definition, one comparable rate
-
01
Confirm the area definition
Identify whether the quote uses land, carpet, built-up or saleable area before entering a number.
-
02
Enter price and area
Type the total asking price, land or floor area, and the matching measurement unit.
-
03
Compare the square-foot rate
Use the result only against properties with the same area definition and price basis.
Calculation method
How price per square foot is calculated
The calculator converts the entered area to square feet, then divides the total price by that converted area.
Show the formula
- Area in square feet = entered area × its square-foot conversion factor
- Price per square foot = total price ÷ area in square feet
Common questions
Price per square foot calculator FAQs
Answers about area definitions, land-unit conversion and the limits of square-foot comparisons.
Which area should I use for a price per square foot comparison?
Use the area definition attached to the quoted price and keep it consistent across properties. Do not compare carpet area for one property with built-up, saleable or land area for another.
Can I enter land area in cents, acres or grounds?
Yes. Select the matching unit and the calculator converts the entered extent to square feet before dividing the total price.
Is the calculated square-foot rate a property valuation?
No. It is arithmetic based only on the total price and area you enter. Location, access, age, condition, approval, specification and other facts can materially affect value.
Should registration, brokerage or loan costs be included?
For asking-price comparisons, use the same price basis for every property. Usually that means comparing the quoted property price and planning transaction and finance costs separately.
