Classic pack-based calculation
What this calculator covers
- Net floor area. You can subtract fixed built-ins that will not receive flooring.
- Layout-specific waste. Straight, diagonal and herringbone layouts use different base waste rates.
- Real pack math. The result includes packs and plank count, not just square footage.
- Underlay and cost. You can estimate underlay and budget in the same pass.
FAQs
How much waste should I allow for laminate or vinyl?
Straight layouts usually need less waste than diagonal or herringbone patterns. The calculator applies a layout-based base percentage and lets you add extra waste if needed.
Should I subtract closets or kitchen units?
Yes, but only for fixed built-ins where flooring definitely will not be installed.
