About This Tool

Don't guess how many buckets of paint to buy. The Paint Calculator provides a professional estimate of the paint quantity required for your home. It considers the total surface area of walls and ceilings, subtracts doors and windows, and applies the specific coverage rate of the paint type (Emulsion, Distemper, Enamel). You can calculate for Primer, 1st Coat, and 2nd Coat separately to plan your material purchase. This tool has become indispensable for construction professionals across India, from small contractors to large construction firms. It accounts for industry-standard specifications and local building codes, ensuring your estimates are accurate and reliable. The calculator helps prevent costly mistakes like material shortages mid-project or excessive wastage that impacts your budget. Whether you're bidding on a project, planning a renovation, or managing a large construction site, this tool provides the precision you need for successful project execution. It saves hours of manual calculations and reduces the risk of human error in critical construction planning. Our algorithms are optimized for performance, ensuring instant results even for complex calculations. We are committed to providing free, high-quality tools to help you be more productive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is standard paint coverage?

Interior Emulsion typically covers 100-130 sq.ft per liter for a single coat. Exterior paint covers less (50-60 sq.ft/ltr for 2 coats).

Do I need primer?

Yes, for fresh walls (new plaster) or major color changes, one coat of primer is essential for adhesion.
