MEASURE FIRST

How to prepare your inputs

Use approved dimensioned plans or verified site measurements. Check units, scale and perpendicular distances.

How this calculation works

Area = π × diameter² ÷ 4. Perimeter = π × diameter.

Worked example

A 4 m diameter circle has area 12.5664 m² and perimeter 12.5664 m.

Assumptions & exclusions

A full flat circle only. Annular borders, sectors, curved surfaces and installation waste need separate calculations.

Your next step

Confirm quantities against a detailed take-off, project drawings and trade-specific requirements.

What if my shape or product is different?

Use dimensions and product data that match the stated method. For complex work, calculate separate sections or obtain a project-specific take-off. Do not apply simple geometry to structural or compliance decisions.

Why are quantities rounded up?

Whole bags, packs, sheets or cartridges round up to purchasable units. Decimal area or volume results are planning figures; confirm order increments with the supplier.

Are my entries saved?

No. Entries remain in the current browser page and clear on reload. Printing can save your results and inputs as a PDF on your device.

Keep planning
