Paint Calculators

Estimate paint quantities and project costs before you start rolling. These calculators cover gallon counts by room size, number of coats, and coverage rate, plus full project cost estimates that include primer, supplies, and optional labor. Use them to buy the right amount of paint and avoid mid-project trips to the store. A standard gallon covers 350 to 400 square feet on a smooth wall with one coat. Textured walls and ceilings cut that to 300 square feet or less. Getting the count right before checkout saves both money and time.

When to use these calculators

  • You're painting a room and need to know how many gallons of paint to buy for the walls and ceiling.
  • You're budgeting a painting project and want a cost estimate for paint, primer, supplies, and labor.
  • You're comparing paint brands with different coverage rates and want accurate gallon counts for each.
  • You're hiring a painter and want to verify their material estimate before agreeing on a price.
