How do you calculate the square footage of a house?- Do you count closets and attics or do you only calculate livable finished areas?

It's the whole living area. Closets count. Attics do not unless they are finished.

It is the square footage of the house per floor. Measure the outside. If the house is square or rectangular, measure two walls that meet. Then multiply the figures. If it has two floors that cover each other completely, double the measurement. Closets count, attics (unfinished and not livable) do not.

I believe it's just the livable areas. You don't count closets or attics.

I don't think bathrooms and basements count, but I am not certain about closets, but I *think* they count.
Measure the area of each of the rooms and add them up. That's the square footage.
