Septic Tank Calculator
A free planning calculator that estimates septic tank capacity and drainfield area from bedrooms, occupants, jurisdiction, and soil perc rate.
Field notes
The tool accepts bedroom count, occupants, jurisdiction, and one of eight soil or perc-rate bands. Its displayed example turns three bedrooms and loam soil into a 1,000-gallon tank, 600 square feet of drainfield, 360 gallons per day, and two 100-foot trenches. It also estimates a 3.7-year pumping interval and lets users copy or print a spec sheet. The page distinguishes preliminary sizing from local enforcement and actual soil testing.
