What is Flooring Calculator?
A flooring calculator estimates how many boxes of flooring material you need based on room dimensions and the coverage per box. It accounts for a waste factor to cover cuts, mistakes, and future repairs.
This calculator supports hardwood planks, laminate, vinyl plank, and various tile sizes (12x12, 18x18, 24x24 inches). Different materials have different default coverage per box, but you can customize this value.
