About these calculators

Material estimators for home projects — concrete, gravel, paint, tile, flooring and square footage — that turn measurements into quantities to buy, with waste allowances explained. Estimates only, not engineering advice.

Each calculator explains the formula it uses, lists its assumptions and includes worked examples generated by the calculator itself, so you can follow the method and check the result.
