How this calculator works

Step 1

Enter total floor area

Sum room areas or enter a single room length and width.

Step 2

Set pack coverage

Use the m² per pack stated by the manufacturer.

Step 3

Add waste and round up

Straight lay: 5–10%. Herringbone: 10–15%. Always round packs up.

When to add more waste

  • Straight lay — 5–10%
  • Herringbone or diagonal — 10–15%
  • Multi-room with transitions and borders — 10–12%

Why use this free calculator?

  • Calculate pack quantities from m² coverage on the product spec.
  • Apply waste for herringbone, borders and room transitions.
  • Quote confidently on multi-room engineered wood projects.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Quoting net area without rounding packs up
  • Using plank coverage instead of pack m² from the spec sheet
  • Under-allowing waste on herringbone or diagonal layouts
