How to Use the Paint Calculator
Enter the length, width, and height of your room in feet or meters. Specify the number of doors and windows to subtract their area from the total wall surface.

Professional Painting Tips
- Always buy 10-15% extra paint to account for touch-ups, uneven surfaces, and future repairs.
- Primer coats may require different coverage rates than finish coats—check manufacturer specifications.
- Textured walls, porous surfaces, and dark-to-light color changes may need additional paint.
- Keep paint from the same batch to ensure consistent color matching across all walls.
