03 / HOW IT WORKS

The estimate is yours to check.

The calculator subtracts openings, accounts for every coat and uses your paint's stated coverage before rounding up to whole cans.

ƒ(x)(Wall length × height − openings) × coats ÷ coverage → paint volume
FAQ / GOOD TO KNOW
Does this include ceilings?

No. Add ceiling area to the measured surface separately or make a second estimate for the ceiling.
