Wing Area

Hi everyone, Just doing some flight dynamics for Microsoft Flight Sim and I'm wondering about the difference between the advertised Wing Area on aircraft company's websites and my calculated Wing Area. They're very different and I was wondering if I was missing something in my calculations. Example, the CRJ-200's advertised wing is 520.4 Sq Ft. When I calculate it myself, it's 602.3.

Any insight would be appreciated.
