Calculate flooring needed
Flooring estimates need both room area and a waste allowance for cuts, layout and damaged boards. Enter room length, width, waste percentage and square feet per box to estimate total area to buy and box count. It is useful for laminate, vinyl plank, hardwood and many other floor materials.
Box count from coverage
The calculator rounds boxes up because partial boxes usually cannot be purchased as exact fractional coverage.
Frequently asked questions
How much waste should I add?
Many simple rooms use around 5 to 10 percent. Complex layouts can need more.
Can I use meters?
This tool uses feet and square feet. Convert first if your measurements are metric.
Does it handle multiple rooms?
Add the room areas together, or run each room separately and total the boxes.
