Estimate how many packs of flooring, carpet, wallpaper, or plywood an area needs, including waste.
| Packs | – |
Use this calculator for any finish sold by pack area: flooring, carpet, wallpaper, plywood, shiplap, or wainscoting. Enter the area, the coverage of one pack, and a waste percent.
Packs = (area ÷ pack coverage) × (1 + waste ÷ 100). Area and pack coverage can be entered in square metres (m²) or square feet (ft²).
This is a pack count. It does not add underlay, adhesive, or pattern matching beyond the waste you enter.
Area: Area to cover, in m² or ft².
Pack coverage: Face area in one pack, in m² or ft².
Waste (%): Extra percent for cuts and matching, often 5–10, more for a pattern.
Packs: Estimated pack count including waste.
