Use this tool to quickly estimate the amount of sealer required for your driveway.
Driveway Sealer Calculator
This calculator is designed to help you estimate the amount of sealer you will need to cover your driveway.
How to Use the Calculator:
- Enter the length and width of your driveway in feet.
- Enter the number of coats you plan to apply.
- Enter the coverage rate for your sealer in square feet per gallon (this information can be found on the sealer container).
- Click “Calculate” to see the total amount of sealer you will need in gallons.
How It Calculates:
The calculator uses the following formula to determine the amount of sealer needed:
Total Gallons Needed = (Length * Width * Number of Coats) / Coverage Rate
This formula calculates the total square footage and divides it by the coverage rate to determine the gallons of sealer needed. The result will give you a good estimate of the amount of sealer required for your driveway.
Limitations:
While this calculator provides a good estimate, it’s always a good idea to buy a bit more sealer than the calculated amount to account for any variations in the porosity of your driveway surface and to ensure complete coverage.
