Carpet Calculator

Estimate how much carpet to order — square yards, linear feet off the roll, seams, plus padding and install materials — using U.S. roll widths and pricing, with a roll-width comparison and a downloadable PDF.

Carpet is sold off a wide roll, so seams and roll width drive real waste. This gives a solid square-yard order estimate — your installer will finalize the exact seam plan. For planning purposes only.
