Paint Calculator: Litres Required
Estimate paint quantity from the area you need to cover, the number of coats and the manufacturer’s coverage rate.
How to use it in practice
For 50 m² of paintable area, two coats and coverage of 10 m²/L per coat, the calculator estimates 10 L of paint.
How to use Paint Calculator: Litres Required

Common questions
Should doors and windows be deducted?
If they will not be painted, deduct their area before entering the paintable area or use a takeoff that already gives you net wall area.
Where do I get the coverage value?
Use the manufacturer’s stated coverage for the specific product and surface conditions.
Does this include waste?
The current paint calculator calculates from area, coats and coverage. Add your own allowance where required.
