1. What is Super Built-up Area?

Super built-up area is the total area that includes the carpet area plus common spaces like lobby, lifts, stairs, etc. It's calculated by adding a loading factor (typically 20-30%) to the carpet area.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Carpet Area} \) — Actual usable area (sq ft)
• \( \text{Loading Factor} \) — Typically 0.2 to 0.3 (20-30%)

Explanation: The loading factor represents the percentage of common areas added to the carpet area to calculate the total super built-up area.

3. Importance of Calculation

Details: Understanding super built-up area helps in comparing property prices accurately and knowing exactly what you're paying for in a property purchase.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter carpet area in square feet and loading factor as a decimal (e.g., 0.25 for 25%). Typical loading factors range from 20-30% (0.2-0.3).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between carpet and super built-up area?
A: Carpet area is actual usable space, while super built-up includes common areas proportionally allocated to your unit.

Q2: What's a typical loading factor?
A: Most properties have 20-30% loading, but it can vary. High-end properties may have higher loading factors.

Q3: How is this different from built-up area?
A: Built-up area includes walls and balconies, while super built-up adds common spaces on top of that.

Q4: Why is loading factor important?
A: It helps you understand what percentage of your payment goes toward common amenities versus actual living space.

Q5: Can loading factor be negotiated?
A: Generally no, as it's determined by the building design, but understanding it helps compare properties better.
