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.
