How to use this tool?
Follow these steps to calculate the perfect tablecloth size:
- Select the table shape – Choose Rectangular/Square or Round from the dropdown.
- Enter table dimensions – All measurements must be in inches:
- For rectangular tables: provide Length and Width.
- For round tables: provide the Diameter.
- Set the desired drop – Enter how many inches of cloth should hang over the edge. Typical drops: 6–12 inches for casual, 15–30 inches for formal.
- Click “Calculate” – The required cloth size will appear, showing the final dimensions (e.g., 72.0 x 52.0 inches for rectangular, or 72.0 inches diameter for round).
The formula is simple: add twice the drop to each dimension (length/width or diameter). For example, a 60×40 inch table with a 12-inch drop needs a cloth of 84×64 inches.
