How to use the Paint Calculator
- 1 Choose measurement units and enter the requested dimensions or values.
- 2 Review the quantity or capacity and check the assumptions before ordering materials or selecting equipment.
How the calculation works
Paintable area is wall width times wall height and wall count, less openings. The estimate then applies the number of coats, coverage rate and waste allowance.
Assumptions and limitations
Actual coverage varies with paint, surface texture, colour changes and application method. Check the coverage printed on the paint container.
