About Lot Coverage Calculator (Formula)
Lot coverage is a term used in architecture and city planning to refer to the proportion of a lot or site that is covered by buildings or structures. The lot coverage calculation formula is as follows:
Lot Coverage = (Total area of all building footprints on a lot / Total area of the lot) x 100
The result is typically expressed as a percentage, with local zoning regulations often specifying a maximum allowable lot coverage to ensure that buildings are not overcrowded and there is adequate space for landscaping, parking, and other uses.
