MEASURE ONCE. PLAN YOUR PURCHASE.

Overlapping Circular Areas calculator.

Avoid double counting where two circular measured areas overlap.

MEASUREMENT

Your inputs

Use measurements from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any prefilled values are illustrative.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Handles disjoint circles, containment and a partial lens. This union differs from an annulus, where an entire concentric inner circle is removed.

Union = area A + area B − lens intersectionCalculated with normalised units

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
