Example of Amerimax Gutter Calculator
Let's consider an example to illustrate the practical application of the Gutter Calculator.
Suppose you have an area with a length of 50 feet and a width of 30 feet. Additionally, each gutter has a length of 10 feet. Plugging these values into the formula:
Number of Gutters = (50 feet * 30 feet) / 10 feet = 150
The result indicates that 150 gutters are required for the given area.

Fix your units of measure and your division
An area of 50 ft x 30 ft for a gutter does not compute 1500 sqft which is an area. You are looking for the perimeter. therefore if one side is 50 ft and other side is 30 ft , and you wish to cover all 4 sides, one would need 50 + 50 + 30+30 = 160 linear ft. divided by 10 ft / 1 section = 16 sections
Thanks for pointing this out! You’re absolutely right about the perimeter calculation – our calculator is actually designed to determine gutter needs based on roof drainage area rather than building perimeter.
For a standard rectangular installation, your method of adding all sides (50+50+30+30=160ft) is the correct approach. We’ll update our description to make this clearer and avoid confusion.
