Treatment Area Square Footage Calculator
Add up rectangles, triangles, and circles into total treatment area in sq ft and acres, plus foundation perimeter and a barrier band area. No login, no map.
How this is calculated
Enter each piece of the yard and house as a simple shape, sum them into one total treatable area, and convert to acres. Separately, turn the house footprint into a foundation perimeter in linear feet and a pre-computed ground-band area at your chosen band width. Area drives broadcast / turf work; perimeter drives barrier work — they are kept apart so you never multiply the wrong number by your label rate.
rectangle = length × width
triangle = (base × height) / 2
circle = π × radius² (π = 3.14159)
total area = Σ shape areas
acres = total area / 43,560
perimeter = 2 × (length + width) (or your measured perimeter)
band area = perimeter × band width (band width clamped to 3–10 ft)
advisory (optional, label governs):
per 1,000 sq ft → rate × (total area / 1,000)
per acre → rate × (total area / 43,560)
Shape formulas and the per-acre arithmetic follow the University of
Tennessee Pesticide Safety and Education Program common calculations
(1 acre = 43,560 sq ft). The 3-ft-up / 3-ft-out standard band
that widens to 10 ft under heavy pressure follows the perimeter-treatment
practice. The product-amount readout is a linear scale of your own rate — it
does no concentrate, dilution, or volume math and is advisory only.
