This ceiling paint calculator will help you determine the amount of paint you need for your ceiling based on its square footage.
How to Use the Ceiling Paint Calculator
To use this calculator, simply input the required dimensions and paint information:
- Room Length: Enter the length of the room in feet.
- Room Width: Enter the width of the room in feet.
- Room Height: Enter the height of the room in feet.
- Paint Coverage: Enter the coverage details as specified by your paint (e.g., 350 sq ft per gallon).
- Number of Coats: Enter how many coats of paint you plan to apply.
Click the “Calculate” button to see the results, which will include the surface area, total paint area, and gallons of paint needed.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator computes the ceiling’s total surface area by multiplying the length and width you provided. This value is then multiplied by the number of paint coats to get the total paint area. The total paint area is divided by the paint coverage per gallon to determine the amount of paint needed in gallons.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator assumes perfectly square or rectangular ceiling surfaces and does not account for any obstructions or variations in the surface. Make sure to consider extra paint for such cases. Always confirm with a paint professional if in doubt.
