Includes waste and rounding up to full boxes.
How It Works
We calculate total coverage needed including wastage, then determine full boxes required.
Total Needed = (L × W) × (1 + Waste%)
Boxes = Ceiling(Total Needed / Box Coverage)
Total Cost = Boxes × Price per Box
Advice
- Always round up to the nearest full box.
- Keep 1 extra box for future repairs if possible.
- Standard waste is 5-10% for simple rooms, 10-15% for complex layouts.
