FAR Yield Calculator
Calculate the realistic buildable square footage taking into account setbacks, lot coverage, and parking minimums.
Inputs
Outputs
Theoretical Max Floor Area
Max Footprint (Coverage Limit)
Buildable Footprint (w/ Setbacks)
Min Stories Required to hit FAR
Analysis Warning:
Setbacks have rendered this lot unbuildable.
Hitting maximum FAR requires building over 5 stories. Construction costs switch from Type V (wood) to Type I (steel/concrete), drastically altering financial feasibility. See FAR Economics.
Project likely viable within standard stick-built construction methods.
