Acreage math, without the spreadsheet
Eight calculators for the arithmetic that comes up on every deal — conversions, lot yield, coverage, pricing and takedown pace. Free, no signup, and each one shows its working.

Acres to square feet converter
One acre is exactly 43,560 square feet. Enter the acreage of a lot, a parcel or a whole subdivision and get the square footage, along with the lot sizes builders quote most often.

Square feet to acres converter
Divide square feet by 43,560 to get acres. This is the conversion you need when a plat lists lot areas in square feet and a lender, an appraiser or a buyer wants the acreage.

Lot size calculator
Enter frontage and depth to get lot area in square feet and in acres. It is the fastest way to size lots off a site plan while the subdivision is still being laid out.

Price per acre calculator
Divide the total price by the acreage to compare tracts on a single number, and get the price per square foot from the same inputs. Say whether the acreage is gross or net every time you quote it.

Lots per acre calculator
Estimate lot yield before the engineer draws it. Take right-of-way, detention and open space out of the gross acreage first — usually 15% to 25% of a conventional single-family subdivision — then divide the net area by your average lot size.

Lot coverage calculator
Lot coverage is the building footprint divided by the lot area, expressed as a percentage. Most residential districts cap it, and that cap is usually what decides whether a house plan fits the lot.

Front foot price calculator
Front-foot pricing divides a lot price by its frontage in feet. It is how builders compare lots on the same street, how corridor and waterfront ground is valued, and how many street, water and sewer assessments are levied.

Takedown schedule calculator
A takedown contract commits a builder to buy finished lots on a fixed schedule. This checks that schedule against the pace lots actually sell, so you can see the quarter standing inventory starts to build and renegotiate before it does.
