Turn your floor area, chosen allowance and pack coverage into a whole-pack estimate.

Who it is for
  • Owners
  • Renovators

Question 1 of 3

How much floor will you cover?

Enter the measured area in square metres. For a rectangular room, multiply its length by its width in metres. Add separate sections for an irregular room.

Estimates use the measurements and allowances you enter. Confirm them with your installer before ordering.

How this tool works

Area including allowance = measured area × (1 + allowance ÷ 100). Packs = that area ÷ pack coverage, rounded up.

You choose every input. No waste percentage, product coverage or price is assumed. The calculation runs in your browser.

Questions, answered

What waste allowance should I enter?

Use the allowance agreed with your installer for the room shape and laying pattern. This calculator does not recommend a percentage.

Can I add several rooms?

Measure each room or section, add the areas and enter the total. Confirm whether offcuts can be shared between rooms before choosing your allowance.

Does it calculate herringbone layouts?

It calculates area and packs using your inputs. It does not lay out individual boards or calculate pattern-specific cuts.
