How many cars can you park in 10,000 sq ft? ›

As an example, a lot is 100 feet by 100 feet, which equates to a total square footage of 10,000 square feet. The resultant of 10,000 divided by 325 is approximately 30 — meaning the final design of the parking lot should accommodate about 30 vehicles.

Calculation is - 325(sq ft) * 100 (spaces) = 32,500 sq ft. Conditions and variables… if you are parking at 75 to 90 degree angles you'll get more bang for your buck. If you go smaller angle 35–60 degree you'll get less spaces.
