Clear off the countertop of any items or appliances.

Start by measuring the depth of the countertop. This is the distance from the front edge of the countertop to the back edge.

Next, measure the length of the countertop. This is the distance from one end to the other.

If your countertop has any corners or angles, measure the length of each individual section.

To calculate the total square footage of the countertop, multiply the length by the depth.

Make sure to take notes of your measurements and double-check them for accuracy.

Use your measurements to order or purchase the appropriate amount of countertop material for your kitchen.
