Enter the total area in square feet and the number of years into the calculator to determine the square footage per year. This calculator helps in understanding the distribution of area usage over time.

Square Footage per Year Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the square footage per year.

SF/Yr = A / Y

Variables:

  • SF/Yr is the square footage per year
  • A is the total area in square feet
  • Y is the number of years

To calculate the square footage per year, divide the total area in square feet by the number of years.

What is Square Footage per Year?

Square footage per year is a measure of how much area, in square feet, is used or allocated on an annual basis. This can be useful for planning and budgeting purposes, such as when determining the amount of space needed for a project or the efficiency of space usage over time.

How to Calculate Square Footage per Year?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Square Footage per Year.


  1. First, determine the total area (A) in square feet.
  2. Next, determine the number of years (Y).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = SF/Yr = A / Y.
  4. Finally, calculate the Square Footage per Year (SF/Yr).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Total area (A) = 2000 square feet

Number of years (Y) = 5 years
