How it works

  1. Add the rooms or zones in your project with their length and width in feet and inches.

  2. Configure your waste factor percentage (10% for straight layouts, 15% for diagonal or herringbone patterns).

  3. Enter your material price per square foot and box coverage to calculate total boxes needed and project budget.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate square footage from feet and inches?

Convert inches into decimal feet by dividing by 12, then multiply length by width. For example, 12 ft 6 in = 12.5 ft. A room measuring 12.5 ft by 10 ft has an area of 125 sq ft.

How many square feet are in a square meter?

One square meter equals approximately 10.7639 square feet. Conversely, 1 sq ft equals 0.0929 square meters.
