Please follow this procedure step by step.
1. measure your bed room length and width.
2. Then multiply them.
3. Do the same thing to your living room.
4. Do it again and again to all space you have in your house.
5. Add all your answers.
6. You got the footage.
you won.

Assuming house is approximately in the shape of a rectangle of length L feet and breadth B feet, the area A (square footage) is calculated from:-
A = L x B ft²
Example
L = 60 ft and B = 50 ft
A = 60 x 50 ft ²
A = 3000 ft ²
Area of surounding land would be added to this figure.
If surrounding land could be thought of as a rectangle of dimensions 200 x 70 ft² = 14000 ft²
Total area is then 3000 + 14000 = 17000 m²

First measure the perimeter of the house at the exterior wall sheathing — not the siding or brick, just the framing — on both floors.
Next we subtract the upper part of any two-story spaces and deduct the area of stairs on the second floor (they’ve already been counted on the first floor).
Spaces that are less than 6 feet high aren’t counted in the “main” number (areas with sloped ceilings). Instead, we list those areas separately.

square footage is referring to total floor space probably including garage and basement if applicable. Assuming all rooms are rectangular, simply multiply length x width of each room and add them all together. Circular or angled rooms are a little more complex, square them off by estimating and add them to the total as well

It is based on floor space so just measure all the rooms (in feet) and add up the numbers and hey presto ! I am sure that you already know how to calculate how many square feet per room?

Calculate the sq ft per room and for all the hallways and other misc spaces and add.
