Handy for cleaning bids and flooring or tile quotes.
Area = length × width for each room, in feet. The total is the sum of every room. A 10 ft × 10 ft room is 100 sq ft.
Square footage is just length times width, measured in feet. Measure each room, multiply the two numbers, and you have its area in square feet. A 10 ft by 10 ft bedroom is 100 sq ft; a 20 ft by 15 ft living room is 300 sq ft. To get a whole-home number, add every room together — three rooms of 100 sq ft each total 300 sq ft. The calculator above keeps a running total as you add areas.
Once you know the total, pricing per square foot is quick: total sq ft times your rate. A 1,800 sq ft home at $0.15 per sq ft is a $270 cleaning quote. The same math works for flooring and tile at their own rates. Per-square-foot pricing is a fast, defensible way to quote — but always confirm it clears your labor, materials, and margin. For hourly context on cleaning work, see house cleaning rates per hour, and to size a full bid try the house cleaning cost calculator.
Cleaners size recurring and deep-clean bids by area, flooring installers estimate material and labor, and painters, landscapers, and janitorial crews all quote by the square foot. If you are standing up a cleaning operation, the fundamentals in how to start a cleaning business pair well with this tool.

Measure the length and width of the room in feet, then multiply them: area = length × width. A room that is 10 ft by 10 ft is 100 square feet. For an L-shaped or multi-room space, split it into rectangles, calculate each one, and add them together. This calculator does the addition for you.
Multiply your total square footage by your rate per square foot. If a house is 1,800 sq ft and you charge $0.15 per sq ft for a standard clean, the quote is $270. Flooring and tile installs work the same way at their own rate. Always confirm the price clears your labor, materials, and margin.
Standard residential cleaning commonly runs about $0.10–$0.25 per square foot, with deep cleans and move-outs higher. Rates vary by region, home condition, and frequency. Use the per-square-foot number as a fast estimate, then check it against your hourly cost before you send the quote.
