What is a Project Calculator?
A project calculator is a versatile tool for DIY enthusiasts and professionals to estimate material needs. Whether you're painting a room, laying flooring, or pouring concrete, this calculator helps you determine the total area or volume of your space. It also calculates how many units (like boxes of tiles or bags of mix) you'll need based on coverage, and can even provide an estimated total cost.
How to Use This Tool
- Choose Units: Select 'Imperial' (feet/inches) or 'Metric' (meters).
- Enter Dimensions: Input the length and width of your project area.
- Select Mode:
- Area: For simple surface area calculation (e.g., painting).
- Material: For materials sold by area coverage (e.g., flooring, tiles).
- Volume: For materials sold by volume (e.g., concrete, soil). You will also need to enter a depth.
- Enter Material Details (if applicable): Input the coverage per box/bag and the price per unit.
- Review Results: The calculator instantly shows the total area/volume needed, including a waste factor, and the number of units and total cost if applicable.
