Great floors start
with a good plan.
Measure every room, see your total flooring estimate, and print one shopping list.
Flooring calculator
Add rooms or non-overlapping sections. Each diagram updates to your dimensions; diagrams show individual proportions, not the layout of your home.
How much flooring do I need?
Measure each rectangular section of your floor in feet. Multiply length by width, then add the areas together for irregular rooms. Add each room or rectangular section above; use non-overlapping sections for irregular rooms. The estimate combines their areas for one flooring product. Add a waste allowance for cuts, then divide by the coverage printed on the box. Always round up to a whole box.

Does the estimate include installation?
No. The cost covers whole boxes of flooring at the price you enter. Add labor, underlayment, trim, delivery, and tax separately.
What if my room is L-shaped?
Split it into rectangles. Calculate each rectangle’s area, add those areas together, and apply your waste allowance once to the total.
Why round up to whole boxes?
Material is often sold by the box. Rounding up helps avoid a shortage caused by buying only the exact calculated area.
