How to Calculate Square Footage from Inches

When measurements are in inches, calculate the area in square inches first, then convert to square feet by dividing by 144 (since 1 sq ft = 144 sq in).

Conversion Formula

Area (sq ft) = (Length in × Width in) ÷ 144

Why 144?

One foot = 12 inches. One square foot = 12 × 12 = 144 square inches. Dividing square inches by 144 converts to square feet.

Example

Countertop Area

A countertop measures 96 inches × 25 inches.

96 × 25 = 2,400 square inches

2,400 ÷ 144 = 16.67 square feet
