How Much Flooring Do I Need?

Measure your space, choose your flooring, and get an easy-to-understand estimate.

1

Measure your room

Enter the length and width. Have more than one room? Add each one below.

Have an L-shaped room? Measure it as two rectangles and add both. Subtract any large areas that won't be covered, such as a permanent island.

Choose your flooring

Tell us what you're using so we can include extra material for cuts.

10% is a common starting point for plank flooring.

Where do I find this? Look at the flooring product's box label or online listing. If you don't know the box size yet, leave it blank.

Want to estimate the total project cost?

Pricing can vary significantly. Tax treatment also depends on how materials and installation are sold.

Estimates are for planning purposes only and are not actual quotes. Final costs will vary based on materials, room conditions, labor, and other project details. Always obtain a written estimate from a qualified flooring professional before making decisions.
