🪵 Flooring Calculator
Material needed including waste factor
About this calculator
Flooring is sold by the box, but your room is measured in square feet — this calculator bridges the gap. Enter your room dimensions and it computes the net area, adds a waste allowance (typically 10% for straight lays, 15% for diagonal or patterned installs), and tells you exactly how many boxes to buy based on the coverage per box.
Tip: keep one spare box after the job — manufacturers discontinue colours, and a future repair without matching planks is a real headache.
