Assumes about 27.5 m² gross per stall, including aisles and circulation.
The lot is too small to fit a double-loaded module at this angle.

About Parking Layout Calculator

The parking layout calculator estimates how many stalls fit on a lot — or how much land a given number of stalls requires. Enter the lot width and depth, pick the parking angle (90°, 60°, 45°, or parallel) and a stall size, and it lays out double-loaded modules: two rows of stalls sharing one aisle.

The results go beyond a single count: you get the number of double-loaded bays, stalls per bay, the aisle width for the chosen angle, the bay depth, and the gross area per stall including circulation. Angled parking needs narrower aisles but consumes more depth per stall, and the calculator makes that trade-off visible.

Three stall sizes are built in — standard 2.5 × 5.0 m, compact 2.4 × 4.8 m, and accessible 3.7 × 5.0 m — and a module plan diagram shows the bay layout. It is a free browser tool for early site planning; actual yield depends on lot shape, entrances, landscaping, and local parking standards.

How to use Parking Layout Calculator

  1. Choose the mode: how many stalls fit on my lot, or how much area N stalls need.
  2. Enter the lot width and depth (or the number of stalls in area mode).
  3. Pick the parking angle — 90°, 60°, 45°, or parallel.
  4. Select a stall size: standard, compact, or accessible.
  5. Read the stall count or required area, plus bays, aisle width, and gross area per stall.

Frequently asked questions

A standard stall is 2.5 × 5.0 m — 12.5 m² net — but with its share of aisles and circulation the gross figure is typically 25–30 m² per stall. The calculator reports the gross area per stall for your exact layout.

90° perpendicular parking is usually the most land-efficient on a lot deep enough for full double-loaded bays, because both rows share one aisle. Angled layouts (60°, 45°) win on narrow sites and are easier to maneuver into, at the cost of more depth per stall.

A module of two facing stall rows served by one central aisle — the standard building block of efficient lots. The calculator counts how many such bays fit across your lot and how many stalls each bay holds along its length.

A double-loaded module needs a minimum depth: two stall depths plus the aisle for the chosen angle. If the lot is shallower than that, the module does not fit — try a different angle, parallel parking, or a single-loaded layout designed by hand.

It is a feasibility number. Real yield drops with irregular lot shapes, entrances and ramps, landscaping islands, accessible-stall quotas, and local dimensional standards — expect a detailed design to land somewhat below the ideal count.
