Lot Coverage Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Lot Coverage (LC):

$LC = \frac{BA}{LA} \times 100$

Where:

$LC$ is the Lot Coverage percentage
$BA$ is the Total Building Area in square feet
$LA$ is the Total Lot Area in square feet

What is Lot Coverage?

Lot coverage is a term used in real estate to describe the ratio or percentage of a lot area that is covered by building area. The maximum lot coverage shouldn’t exceed 100% often. In cases where they do, that means buildings are extended onto other lots.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Building Area ( $BA$ ) = 2000 square feet
Total Lot Area ( $LA$ ) = 10000 square feet

Using the formula:

$LC = \frac{2000}{10000} \times 100 = 20 \%$

The Lot Coverage is 20%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Building Area ( $BA$ ) = 3500 square feet
Total Lot Area ( $LA$ ) = 7000 square feet

Using the formula:

$LC = \frac{3500}{7000} \times 100 = 50 \%$

The Lot Coverage is 50%.
