The Basic Formula

How to Determine Your Perfect Table Linen Size

Round

Width + Drop + Drop

 

Square or Rectangle

(Width + Drop + Drop) (Length + Drop + Drop)

To easily calculate the linen size you need, add together the table width and the drop you would like to see on each side. 

For example, say you want a floor length table linen for a 48" round table that is standard (30") height.  You would add 48 + 30 + 30 to determine that you need a 108" round linen.
