A tablecloth size calculator finds the linen size you need by adding the desired drop to each side of the table. Enter a round, rectangular, square, or banquet table below to get the closest standard rental size and the actual drop after rounding.
Pair the result with the rental cost estimator to price linens, the seating chart maker to plan tables, and the party supplies checklist to track decor and tabletop items.

Frequently asked questions
Common answers about tablecloth sizing for party rentals, weddings, banquets, and buffet tables.
What size tablecloth do I need for a 60 inch round table?
For a 60 inch round table, use a 90 inch round tablecloth for a 15 inch lap-length drop. Use a 120 inch round tablecloth if you want a full floor-length drop on a standard 30 inch high table.
What size tablecloth fits a 6 foot banquet table?
A standard 6 foot banquet table is 72 by 30 inches. Use a 60 x 102 inch tablecloth for a 15 inch lap-length drop, or a 90 x 132 inch tablecloth for a floor-length drop.
How much drop should a tablecloth have?
Use an 8 to 12 inch drop for casual parties, a 15 inch drop for lap-length seated meals, and a 27 to 30 inch drop for formal floor-length linen. Floor length is common for weddings, buffets, and display tables.
How do I calculate tablecloth size?
Add twice the desired drop to each table dimension. For a 60 inch round table with a 15 inch drop, the formula is 60 + 15 + 15, so the tablecloth should be 90 inches round.
Should I round up to the next tablecloth size?
Yes. Rental linens come in standard sizes, so round up to the next available size that covers the table. The calculator shows the actual drop after rounding so you can avoid a cloth that is too short.
