The formula, every time

Rounds up, waste included

Results round up to whole bags, sheets and boxes, with a sensible waste factor, so you never come up short.

Imperial and metric

Switch units on any page. Real metric coverage and bag sizes, not just a converted number.

Built for accuracy, not guesswork

Pick any calculator below. Each one rounds up so you never run short on the jobsite and adds a sensible waste factor for the material, and you can switch between imperial and metric on every page. The numbers are estimates to plan and price a job, so always confirm the final quantity with your supplier before buying.
