How to Use the Stud Wall Framing Calculator

Select your measurement system (imperial or metric), enter your wall length, choose your stud spacing (16" or 24" on center is standard), and optionally include wall height for plate calculations. The calculator automatically adds your chosen waste allowance percentage and calculates the total number of studs and plates needed.

Framing Best Practices

  • 16" on-center spacing is standard for most residential walls and provides better support for drywall.
  • 24" on-center spacing is acceptable for non-load-bearing walls and can save on material costs.
  • Always add 10-15% extra studs for waste, cuts, and potential mistakes during construction.
  • Check local building codes - some areas require specific spacing for fire-rated or exterior walls.
  • Use pressure-treated lumber for bottom plates in contact with concrete foundations.
