How to calculate concrete formwork area
This calculator finds the surface area of concrete formwork needed by multiplying the perimeter or relevant dimension by the height of the form.
How the calculation works
Formwork area = Perimeter (or length) × Form height.
Example
A footing run with 60 ft of perimeter and 1.5 ft form height: Formwork area = 60 × 1.5 = 90 sq ft of form material needed.

Pro Tips for Concrete Formwork Area
- Account for both sides of a wall or footing form if double-sided forming is required, which doubles the area versus single-sided forms.
- Add extra for form bracing and any reusable form material loss between uses.
Common Concrete Formwork Area Mistakes to Avoid
- Calculating only one side of a double-sided form system, understating the actual formwork material needed.
