All calculators

Twenty-five material calculators across seven project clusters — each with its formula published and a worked example. Search, or browse by cluster.

Flooring & Tile

Flooring, tile, carpet and grout quantities with waste allowance built in, so one trip to the store is enough.

Paint & Walls

Gallons of paint, sheets of drywall, rolls of wallpaper and lengths of trim — worked out from your wall measurements.

Concrete & Masonry

Cubic yards of concrete, block and brick counts, and mortar bags for slabs, footings, walls and patios.

Outdoor, Deck & Fence

Deck boards, fence pickets, mulch, gravel and topsoil volumes for the projects that start with a tape measure.

Roofing

Roofing squares, shingle bundles and pitch conversions from a ground-level measurement of your house.

Kitchen & Bath

Countertop square footage and backsplash tile counts for the two rooms where materials cost the most per foot.

Conversions & Core

The core measurements every project starts with: area, volume and lumber — in imperial and metric.
