Exact calculation method
Add room areas in square feet, apply the allowance, then divide by carton coverage in square feet. When plank dimensions are used, divide by plank area and round pieces up. Internal calculations retain full precision. Final plank and carton quantities are rounded up only when a whole purchase quantity requires it.
Worked example
A 14 ft × 11 ft room is 154 sq ft. At 10%, 169.4 sq ft is required. With 21.5 sq ft per carton, buy 8 cartons.
Measurement tips
Measure rooms in feet, enter planks in inches, and check the manufacturer’s square-foot coverage per carton.
Inputs and results
Enter each rectangular area, choose Imperial or Metric, and adjust the visible material allowance. Product packaging information is optional and should come from the product box, carton, or manufacturer product page. Results separate measured area, allowance, final area, and whole purchase quantities.
Limitations and assumptions
Plank direction, pattern alignment, damaged locking edges, and room-specific cut reuse are not predicted. Allowance depends on room shape, pattern, cuts, damage, product defects, installer recommendations, and manufacturer instructions.
Use this result for planning only. Verify measurements and order quantities with the product manufacturer or qualified installer.
