Rug pad size calculator

A rug pad should be about 1 in shorter than the rug on every side, so the rug's edges lie flat on the floor: an 8 × 10 ft rug takes a pad of about 7′10″ × 9′10″.

How to use it

  1. Enter the rug’s width and length.
  2. See the pad size, about 1 in shorter on every side.
  3. Trim a larger pad to that size if needed.
