The invention discloses a method for calculating a tight reservoir fracturing transformation volume area. The method comprises the following steps that multiple hydraulic fracture non-planar turning extension models, a formation stress field change model, a reservoir pressure file change model and a natural fracture failure criterion in the tight reservoir horizontal well fracturing process are established, geological parameters, horizontal well fracturing construction parameters and the total fracturing time are obtained, an initial fracture filter loss value, an initial fracture half-length value, an initial in-fracture pressure value, an initial fracture extension turning angle, initial permeability and an initial fracturing time value are endowed, all the models are calculated, and natural fracture failure point coordinate data is calculated; a spatial and numerical integration method is utilized to calculate tension failure transformation area volume and shear failure transformation area volume in a reservoir respectively, and the spaces of the two parts are united and regarded as a total transformation volume area. By adopting the method, accurate, economic and rapid tight reservoir horizontal well fracturing evaluation can be achieved, and the problem that effort, money and time are wasted in the existing tight reservoir horizontal well fracturing transformation volume area calculating process is solved.
