Plan office area with transparent assumptions
Office space per employee is not one universal number. Layout style, private offices, meeting rooms, storage, reception, kitchens, accessibility, circulation and local building requirements all change the real requirement.
This calculator therefore starts with your own personal-workspace assumption and adds separate allowances for shared areas, support areas, circulation and future growth. It is useful for early leasing, fit-out and capacity comparisons, not as a substitute for architectural or code review.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the number of employees or workstations.
- Enter the personal workspace area you want to plan per employee.
- Add percentages for collaboration, support and circulation space.
- Add a future growth allowance if you expect headcount to rise.
- Review total area and final area per employee.
