Worldwide flooring quantity calculator
Calculate tiles, laminate, vinyl plank or carpet needed from room dimensions, including wastage - a to-scale floor plan shows every room laid out by its actual size, coloured by flooring type.
The Floor Plan tab's to-scale room layout, and the Materials tab's per-type totals - both shown in imperial units.
Floor Plan tab - a to-scale room layout, in ft/ft²
Materials tab - totals per flooring type, in ft/ft²
Every room is drawn as a rectangle sized to its actual length and width, not just its area - so you can see the real shape and proportions of the job at a glance.
Tile, laminate, vinyl plank (LVT) and carpet - each with its own typical coverage rate and a sensible default wastage allowance you can override per room.
Tile, laminate and vinyl plank totals convert straight to box or pack counts using typical coverage rates - so you know exactly how many to order.
Add every room separately with its own dimensions and flooring type - materials roll up automatically per type across the whole job.
Set a wastage percentage per room - carpet defaults higher than tile or laminate to account for pattern matching and cutting waste, and every default is editable.
Switch between m/m² and ft/ft² at any time - every room dimension, the floor plan's labels, and the Materials tab all update to match.
Copy a plain-text summary or export every room as a CSV file. Light/dark theme remembers your choice, and rotating sample jobs let you explore the app.
