- Wall Height: Input the height of the wall in meters.
- Wall Length: Input the length of the wall in meters.
- Roll Width: Input the width of the wallpaper roll in meters.
- Roll Length: Input the length of the wallpaper roll in meters.

- Labor Cost per square meter: Input the labor cost per square meter in dollars.
Once all fields are filled in, click the “Calculate” button to see the total estimated cost of the wallpaper installation.
How the Calculator Works and Its Limitations
The calculator works by computing the area that needs to be covered (Wall Height x Wall Length) and the wallpaper coverage area per roll (Roll Width x Roll Length). The total number of wallpaper rolls required is calculated by dividing the wall area by the roll coverage area and rounding up to ensure complete coverage.
The total installation cost is computed by adding the cost of wallpaper rolls and the labor cost (area to be covered x labor cost per square meter).
Limitations:
- The calculator doesn’t account for doors, windows, or any other openings in the wall, which might reduce the wallpaper required.
- It assumes no wastage and exact fitting of wallpaper rolls, which might not be the case in real-life installations where trimming and alignment are necessary.
