When to use a paint calculator

Estimate paint gallons for walls or ceilings with multiple coats and coverage rate.

All assumptions are visible and adjustable. Check rates and underlying data against original sources before making a decision.

HOW IT WORKS

Gallons required = area × coats ÷ coverage × (1 + waste%). Round up to whole-gallon equivalents.
