How these calculators work

  1. Enter your measurements in feet and inches or metres – mixed input like 12 ft 6 in works.
  2. Check the diagram: it redraws as you type, so a wrong dimension is easy to spot.
  3. Add waste and your supplier’s package size and price to get what to buy.
  4. Copy, print or share the result. Nothing is stored on our servers.
