How to Calculate Paint Requirements Accurately
When starting a painting project, it's crucial to calculate how much paint you'll need. Buying too little paint can result in inconsistency, while buying too much can be a waste of money. Our Paint Coverage Calculator helps solve this issue by using basic room dimensions to determine how much paint is necessary.
To begin, measure the length and height of the wall you wish to paint. Multiply these numbers to find the total square meters. Then, consider how many coats you plan to apply — more coats mean more paint.
Paints usually specify their coverage per liter on the can — commonly ranging between 10 to 14 m² per liter. Enter this figure to refine the estimate. This calculator gives you a quick estimate so you can purchase the right amount of paint for your needs.
This tool is especially useful for home renovations, room makeovers, or professional painters managing larger projects. Whether you’re working on a single accent wall or repainting an entire home, this tool ensures you’re properly equipped.
Pro Tip: Don’t forget to subtract the area for doors and windows if they won’t be painted, or use them as reference when buying slightly more paint for touch-ups and corners.
