FAQ’s – Office Space Calculator
How do I calculate the amount of office space I need?
Input the number of desks, meeting rooms, receptions and storage areas you need, and we’ll provide a tailored result.
How much space is allocated for one desk?
Most serviced office providers allocate between 40 and 60 square feet per desk. This includes space for the desk and circulation space around the desk.
Our calculator uses an average based on modern serviced office layouts.
Do I need to include space for shared amenities in my calculation?
Not in a serviced office as the the amenities are communal – so not in your dedicated space. if you're taking a managed office with dedicated facilities,
then you may need to add the relevant size for your requirement.
Can this calculator be used for hybrid working plans?
Yes. This tool is ideal for companies that operate under a hybrid model.
The best way to use the calculator for this is to input how many desks you would need on a peak day when employees work from the office.
- Small meeting room (up to 4 people): ~100 square feet
- Medium meeting room (up to 8 people): ~150 square feet
- Large meeting room/Boardroom (up to 20 people): ~ 300+ square feet
Our calculator will automatically factor in these sizes.
