How it works

Calculate how much paint you need for your walls from surface area, product coverage and number of coats.

Frequently asked questions

How much paint do I need?

Required paint is surface area times coats divided by product coverage.

Should I subtract doors and windows?

Yes, subtracting large openings improves the estimate.

Why might I need two coats?

The number of coats depends on the colour, surface and product coverage.
