HomeCalculators

Home improvement calculators for realistic project planning.

Enter your measurements once and get practical estimates for material quantity, project cost, and planning ranges. These tools use common units, clear formulas, and practical waste allowances.

Paint Calculator

Estimate paint needed for walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and multiple coats.

Sq ft per gallon or sq m per litre

Paint formula

Paint needed = paintable area × coats ÷ coverage. Add waste for touch-ups, roller loss, and porous surfaces. Always check your paint tin coverage before buying.

Concrete Calculator

Calculate concrete volume for slabs, patios, paths, shed bases, and small foundations.

Inches or centimetres

Concrete formula

Volume = length × width × depth. The calculator converts the result into cubic yards and cubic metres. Structural work should be checked by a qualified professional.

Tile Calculator

Estimate tiles and boxes for bathrooms, kitchens, walls, floors, and backsplashes.

Tile planning note

Order full boxes and keep spare tiles for repairs. Use higher waste for diagonal patterns, large tiles, niches, or irregular rooms.

Flooring Calculator

Estimate flooring area and material cost for laminate, vinyl, hardwood, carpet, or engineered flooring.

Flooring planning note

Material, underlay, trim, delivery, removal, and fitting/labor should be budgeted separately for a full project estimate.

HVAC BTU Calculator

Estimate room cooling or heating capacity using area, ceiling height, sunlight, insulation, and occupancy.

HVAC note

This is a room sizing estimate only. Whole-home HVAC design should be confirmed by a qualified HVAC professional.

Roofing Calculator

Estimate roof area, roofing squares, bundles, pitch factor, and simple material cost.

Roofing note

Valleys, dormers, roof complexity, underlayment, tear-off waste, and installation requirements can change the final quantity.

Bathroom Remodel Cost Calculator

Plan a bathroom renovation budget using size, finish level, labor, and contingency.

Bathroom budget note

Plumbing relocation, waterproofing, permits, structural repair, premium fixtures, and local labor rates can significantly change final cost.
