How the linear feet calculator works

Total linear feet = number of pieces × length per piece in feet. Linear feet measure length only; they do not include width or area.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate linear feet?

Convert each length to feet and add the lengths together. For identical pieces, multiply the length of one piece by the number of pieces.

Are linear feet the same as square feet?

No. Linear feet measure length, while square feet measure area and require both length and width.
