Every calculator on this website gives an estimate based on standard formulas. Real projects vary: ground is not perfectly flat, cuts waste material, and one brand of tile, paint or flooring often covers a little more or less than another.
Measure twice before you order. Always check the coverage printed on the actual product you are buying (the bag, box or can), because coverage differs by brand and size. When a result is between two amounts, most professionals round up.
Our cost calculators use the prices you type in, or example prices shown on the page. They are not quotes. Material and labor prices change from store to store and from town to town.
This website helps with planning and buying material. It is not a substitute for a licensed contractor, engineer or supplier, especially for structural work, electrical work, or large concrete jobs.
We work hard to keep every formula correct, and we fix reported mistakes quickly. Still, we cannot guarantee that every result fits your project, and we are not responsible for material bought or returned based on an estimate. If you spot a wrong number, please tell us through the Contact page.
