Area of any polygon from coordinates

Enter boundary coordinates for land plots, irregular rooms, or any polygon. The Shoelace formula calculates exact area and perimeter with a live diagram.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Shoelace formula?
The Shoelace formula (Gauss area formula) calculates the area of a polygon from its vertices: Area = ½|Σ(xᵢyᵢ₊₁ - xᵢ₊₁yᵢ)|. It works for any simple (non-self-intersecting) polygon.
What is the area of an irregular plot of land?
Survey the boundary coordinates (northing/easting), enter them in order, and this calculator finds the area using the Shoelace formula — the same method used by surveyors.
What units does this calculator support?
You can use any unit (metres, feet, etc.) — just be consistent. Select the unit from the dropdown and the results display in that unit for area (unit²) and perimeter (unit).
