How much flooring do I need?
Enter your room dimensions below. The calculator adds waste and tells you the square footage, how many boxes to order, and an estimated material cost. Ordering the right amount the first time saves you a second freight shipment.
How the math works
Square footage is length times width for each room. Add the rooms together, then add 10 to 15 percent for waste (cuts, mistakes, and a little attic stock for future repairs). Divide the total by the square feet per box, then round up to the next whole box.
