📏 Flooring Calculator
Estimate how many boxes of vinyl planks, laminate flooring, or hardwood flooring you need based on room size and product coverage.
Estimate how many boxes of flooring you need before purchasing materials.
Step 1: Calculate Room Size
Room Length × Room Width = Room Size (sq ft)
Example:
12 ft × 15 ft = 180 sq ft
Step 2: Calculate Boxes Needed
Room Size ÷ Coverage Per Box = Boxes Needed
Example:
180 sq ft ÷ 27 sq ft per box = 6.67 boxes
Step 3: Round Up
You cannot buy part of a box.
6.67 boxes = 7 boxes needed
Recommended
Add 10% extra for cuts, mistakes, and waste.
180 sq ft + 18 sq ft = 198 sq ft
198 ÷ 27 = 7.33 boxes
Result
✅ Minimum Purchase: 7 boxes
✅ Recommended Purchase: 8 boxes
🧱 Drywall Calculator
Calculate how many drywall sheets you need for your room walls.
Example
Room Length = 12 ft
Room Width = 15 ft
Room Height = 8 ft
Wall Area
(12 × 8 × 2) + (15 × 8 × 2)
= 432 sq ft
Drywall Sheets Needed
432 ÷ 32
= 13.5 sheets
Round Up
✅ 14 sheets needed
