PAINT CALCULATOR
"A Paint Calculator is a simple tool that estimates how much paint you need based on wall size, openings, and number of coats, helping you buy the right amount and avoid waste."
🎨 Paint Calculator — Estimate Your Paint Requirement Easily
Welcome to the Free Paint Calculator on calculator.cl! This easy-to-use tool helps you calculate the amount of paint necessary to cover walls and ceilings for your painting project.
Whether you’re repainting a room, completing a DIY renovation, or planning a full house paint job, this calculator estimates paint volume so you can buy the right amount — no guesswork, no wasted cans.
🧠 Why Calculate Paint Quantity?
Buying too much paint can be wasteful and expensive, while buying too little means extra trips to the store and project delays. This paint calculator gives you accurate estimates based on the surface area you want to paint and the number of coats you plan to apply.
This helps you:
Save money by buying just what you need
Plan your project efficiently
Avoid running out of paint mid-job
🧮 How It Works
To calculate your paint requirement:
Enter the Width and Height of each wall or area you want to paint
(Optional) Subtract areas not to be painted (doors, windows)
Enter the number of coats you plan to apply
Provide your paint coverage rate (typically in square feet per liter or square meters per liter)
Click Calculate
The calculator uses your inputs to compute the total paintable surface area, adjust it for the number of coats, and divide by the paint’s coverage rate to show how much paint is needed in litres or gallons.
📊 Example Calculation
If you have a room with:
Two walls each 10 ft × 8 ft
Two walls each 12 ft × 8 ft
Paint covers 350 sq ft per gallon
You plan to apply 2 coats
The calculator adds all wall areas, multiplies by coats, and divides by coverage to give the total gallons of paint you’ll need.
📍 Tips for Best Results
Always measure accurately for best accuracy — corners and alcoves matter!
Subtract areas for windows and doors so you don’t overestimate.
Use the coverage rate from your paint can label; different paints vary.
💡 Common Uses
This calculator is especially helpful for:
Bedroom, living room, or hallway repainting
Ceiling painting
Exterior wall painting (with adjustments for texture)
Hiring pros and planning material orders
⚠️ Important Notes
Results are estimates and assume standard paint coverage. Actual results may vary depending on surface texture, application style, and primer use.
If you’re doing multiple surface types (exterior vs interior), check paint instructions for coverage differences.
