How this calculator works
Step 1
Measure net floor area
Record room length and width at the widest points.
Step 2
Add waste for cuts
Allow extra for doorways, corners and awkward shapes — typically 5–10% for sheet vinyl.
Step 3
Confirm roll or pack quantity
Divide total area by roll width or pack coverage and round up.
When to add more waste
- Simple rectangular rooms — 5–8%
- Bathrooms and kitchens with many cuts — 8–12%
