Need Office Space? Start with the Right Number
By Rohan Bhattacharyya, Marketing Manager – Altre Digital
Before choosing a building or planning a move-in date, most teams face one simple but critical question:
How much office space do we actually need?
It’s not always easy to answer. Some teams guess based on what they’ve seen. Others reuse old numbers from a previous lease. The result? Spaces that don’t fit, budgets that don’t hold, and timelines that get stretched.
That’s exactly what our new tool is built to fix.
The Office Space Calculator on Altre’s platform helps you figure out your ideal square footage, based on the way your business actually works.
What the Calculator Does
The tool starts with basic inputs like team size. From there, you can add detailed requirements like number of cabins, meeting rooms, collaboration zones, cafeteria area, reception, and more.
It also takes into account your team structure. A BPO team has different spatial needs than a consulting firm or a software product team. The calculator adjusts accordingly, based on how work is distributed across functions, whether it’s a corporate office, a software development team, a BPO, a consulting firm, or an offshore delivery center.
Once you’ve filled in your inputs, you’ll get a total estimate in square feet, along with a simple breakdown showing how that number was calculated.
If you're ready to explore options, you can immediately see available offices that match your size in the city of your choice.
Built for Real Planning
The calculator is built for companies that are actively planning their next move, not browsing casually. It’s useful for teams expanding into new cities, evaluating lease options, or switching from temporary setups to long-term space.
We’ve seen fast-scaling startups in Bangalore misjudge space by over 40%. We’ve worked with remote teams setting up shared hubs in Noida who needed room to flex. And we’ve helped GCCs who didn’t want to get locked into long leases without accurate planning.
In each of these cases, starting with the right square footage saved time, money, and a lot of back-and-forth.
If you’ve searched “how much office space do I need,” or “how to calculate office space per person,” you already know how much generic advice is out there. This tool skips the averages and gives you numbers that match your business model.
It’s free to use, doesn’t require a login, and gives you answers in seconds.
