Square Footage Calculate floor or project area in square feet and square meters, with an optional waste allowance.

Paint Estimate wall paint in liters and US gallons, including openings, coats, coverage, waste, container count, and optional cost.

Flooring Estimate flooring area, waste, boxes, purchased coverage, and optional material cost.

Tile Estimate tiles and boxes from surface dimensions, tile size, waste, packaging, and optional box price.

Concrete Slab Estimate concrete volume, ready-mix cubic yards, premix bag count, waste, and optional material cost for a rectangular slab.

Mulch & Bark Estimate mulch or bark chippings volume in cubic yards, cubic feet, and liters from area and depth, with bag rounding and optional cost.

Fence Estimate fence panels, posts, and the combined postcrete (post-hole concrete) needed for a straight run, with optional material cost.

Post Concrete Calculate postcrete or premix concrete bags needed to set one or more fence, deck, or gate posts, with optional material cost.

Carpet Estimate carpet from a fixed roll width, including waste, an optional stair allowance, roll length to order, and optional cost.

Epoxy Resin Estimate two-part epoxy resin volume by coverage thickness, with A/B part split by mix ratio, kit rounding, and optional cost.

Pond Volume Estimate pond water volume for an irregular or sloped-side pond, plus liner size and pump sizing guidance.

Pool Volume Estimate rectangular pool water volume from shallow and deep-end depth, plus an estimated fill time and optional water cost.

Wall Area Calculate net wall area (openings subtracted) in square meters and square feet, to feed paint, wallpaper, drywall/plasterboard, or cladding coverage.

Wallpaper Rolls Estimate wallpaper rolls needed from room size, roll dimensions, and an optional pattern repeat, with drop and strip counts.

Drywall Estimate drywall or plasterboard sheets needed from area, waste, and standard sheet size, with optional material cost.

Gravel Estimate gravel volume, tonnes, and bags from area, depth, and density, with optional material cost.

Mortar (Brick) Estimate brick count and mortar volume/bags for a brick wall face from wall size, brick size, and joint thickness.

Deck Boards Estimate deck boards needed from deck area, board width, gap, and stock length - boards only, no framing or spans.

Insulation Rolls Estimate loft or wall insulation rolls/batts needed from area, waste, and per-roll coverage, with optional cost.

Roof Shingles Estimate shingle bundles/squares needed from building footprint and roof pitch, with waste allowance - material quantity only.

What these calculators do

They convert measurements into an ordering estimate. They do not replace product instructions, an installer, structural design, or local building requirements.

How to get a better estimate

Measure each simple shape separately.
Use the exact coverage, package size, or yield from the product you plan to buy.
Choose a waste factor that reflects cuts, pattern, breakage, and the shape of the project.
Round to complete retail packages and verify stock comes from a compatible batch where relevant.
