Tablecloth Size Calculator

Get the perfect fit for round, square, and rectangular tables

How it works

Measure your table, choose the drop length you like, and the calculator will tell you the tablecloth size to buy.

Quick guide

Every measurement is in inches. You can convert to cm if you prefer (1 in = 2.54 cm).
Drop length is the amount of fabric that hangs over the table edge. Typical drops: 6–12 in for casual, 12–15 in for formal.
Always measure table length and width at the widest points.

Calculator results explained

The calculator adds twice the drop to the table width/length (or diameter for round tables) and recommends the closest standard tablecloth size. If you want custom cut, use the exact size shown.

Tips

For a clean look, round up to the next common size if you want a fuller drop.
If you plan to use clips or ties, a shorter drop can look neat while staying functional.

Examples

Rectangle: Table 60 × 40 in, drop 10 in → cloth 80 × 60 in.
Round: Diameter 48 in, drop 12 in → cloth 72 in round.

Why Use a Tablecloth Size Calculator?

A calculator removes all the guesswork. Instead of manually measuring and calculating, you simply enter your table’s dimensions, choose your desired drop, and get an accurate tablecloth size instantly. This saves time and ensures you never buy the wrong size again.

How the Calculator Works

To use a Tablecloth Size Calculator, you usually need three basic measurements:

Table Shape – Round, rectangular, or square.
Table Size – Length, width, or diameter.
Drop Length – How much fabric you want to hang over the edge. Most people choose a 6–12 inch drop for everyday use, and 12–15 inch for events or formal dining.

After entering these details, the calculator gives you the exact tablecloth dimensions you need.
For example:

A round table with a 48-inch diameter and a 12-inch drop needs a 72-inch round cloth.

A rectangular table (60 × 40 inches) with a 10-inch drop needs a 80 × 60 inch tablecloth.

Benefits of Using the Right Tablecloth Size
