Paint Calculator – Gallons Needed

Calculate how many gallons of paint you need based on wall area.

How It Works

Enter room dimensions and wall height. The calculator subtracts windows and doors, then divides by 350 sq ft per gallon coverage for a one-coat estimate.

Formula

Gallons = Wall Area / 350 sq ft per gallon (one coat)
