🎯 What Does This Calculator Do?

This tool helps you figure out how much paint you need based on the total area to cover and the paint's coverage rate. Whether you're painting a wall, room, or ceiling, you’ll get a quick and reliable estimate in litres.

📏 How to Use

  • Enter the total surface area you plan to paint (in square feet).
  • Enter the coverage per litre—usually found on the paint can (e.g., 100–150 sq ft/litre).
  • Click "Calculate" to see how many litres you’ll need.

đź§± Quick Example

If you have a 600 sq ft wall and your paint covers 120 sq ft per litre, you’ll need about 5 litres of paint.

âś… Tips

  • Always round up and add 10–15% extra paint to account for touch-ups or textured surfaces.
  • Double the paint volume if you plan to apply two coats.
  • Use separate estimates for different colors or finishes.

âť“ FAQs

Q. Does this include primer or just paint?

This calculator estimates paint only. Primer may require additional volume.

Q. What if I’m painting two coats?

Multiply the result by 2 for two coats or adjust as needed.

Q. Is paint coverage the same for all surfaces?

No. Rough or porous surfaces may reduce coverage, so always check the paint specifications.
