Have you ever wondered if your car, bike, or other large items will fit in your garage? The "Will It Fit in My Garage Calculator" is here to help! This tool allows you to input the dimensions of your vehicle and garage, along with any additional space requirements, to determine if your vehicle will fit and how much space will remain.

Formulas Used in the Calculator

1. Vehicle Dimensions with Additional Space

To account for the additional space required around the vehicle, we adjust the vehicle dimensions as follows:

$\text{Adjusted Vehicle Length} = \text{Vehicle Length} + 2 \times \text{Additional Space}$

$\text{Adjusted Vehicle Width} = \text{Vehicle Width} + 2 \times \text{Additional Space}$

$\text{Adjusted Vehicle Height} = \text{Vehicle Height} + \text{Additional Space}$

2. Check if the Vehicle Fits

The vehicle will fit in the garage if the adjusted vehicle dimensions are less than or equal to the garage dimensions:

$\text{Fits Lengthwise} = \text{Garage Length} \geq \text{Adjusted Vehicle Length}$

$\text{Fits Widthwise} = \text{Garage Width} \geq \text{Adjusted Vehicle Width}$

$\text{Fits Heightwise} = \text{Garage Height} \geq \text{Adjusted Vehicle Height}$

3. Available Space

If the vehicle fits, the available space in the garage is calculated as:

$\text{Available Length} = \text{Garage Length} - \text{Adjusted Vehicle Length}$

$\text{Available Width} = \text{Garage Width} - \text{Adjusted Vehicle Width}$

$\text{Available Height} = \text{Garage Height} - \text{Adjusted Vehicle Height}$

Example Calculation

Let’s walk through an example to see how the calculator works.

Inputs:

• Vehicle Length: 15 ft
• Vehicle Width: 6 ft
• Vehicle Height: 5 ft
• Garage Length: 20 ft
• Garage Width: 10 ft
• Garage Height: 8 ft
• Additional Space Required: 1 ft

Let’s walk through an example to see how the calculator works.

Step 1: Adjust Vehicle Dimensions

$\text{Adjusted Vehicle Length} = 15 \, \text{ft} + 2 \times 1 \, \text{ft} = 17 \, \text{ft}$

$\text{Adjusted Vehicle Width} = 6 \, \text{ft} + 2 \times 1 \, \text{ft} = 8 \, \text{ft}$

$\text{Adjusted Vehicle Height} = 5 \, \text{ft} + 1 \, \text{ft} = 6 \, \text{ft}$

Step 2: Check if the Vehicle Fits

$\text{Fits Lengthwise} = 20 \, \text{ft} \geq 17 \, \text{ft} = \text{Yes}$

$\text{Fits Widthwise} = 10 \, \text{ft} \geq 8 \, \text{ft} = \text{Yes}$

$\text{Fits Heightwise} = 8 \, \text{ft} \geq 6 \, \text{ft} = \text{Yes}$

Step 3: Calculate Available Space

$\text{Available Length} = 20 \, \text{ft} - 17 \, \text{ft} = 3 \, \text{ft}$

$\text{Available Width} = 10 \, \text{ft} - 8 \, \text{ft} = 2 \, \text{ft}$

$\text{Available Height} = 8 \, \text{ft} - 6 \, \text{ft} = 2 \, \text{ft}$

Summary of Results

• Will It Fit? Yes
• Available Length: 3 ft
• Available Width: 2 ft
• Available Height: 2 ft
