FAQ
About this calculator
What counts in the square footage?
Use the same measure for everything you compare, such as finished living area, so the numbers are comparable.
Can I use it for rent?
Yes. Enter the monthly or yearly rent and the rented area to get rent per square foot.
Is a lower cost per square foot better?
Not always. Location, condition and quality drive price, so compare similar properties.
Is anything saved?
No. The math runs in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.
Is this tax or financial advice?
No. It is a calculator for general information. Check the numbers against your own records, and ask an accountant before you act on them.
