This worked for me in Blender 2.82. Result is shown in System Console window.

import bpy

bpy.context.object.update_from_editmode() 
#applies any pending edits.
#allows script to be run from within edit mode

the_area = 0
for poly in bpy.context.object.data.polygons:
    if poly.select:
        the_area += poly.area

print('final area total')
print(the_area)

  • Thank you it works excellent for me too ^^...(I tried the the MeasureIt addon, but it doesnt work - it looks like measureIt infinitely counts the area... so my computer almost freeze. Larger area = bigger freezing.) Thank you for this script :) – Vincent Decc Mar 04 '20 at 09:11

    Or area = sum(p.area for p in me.polygons if p.select) Worth noting too that this is local values, eg default cube with subsurf and scaled to 0 will still have face area 6x2x2 – batFINGER Mar 04 '20 at 10:17
