Know what to buy before you drive to the store

Every calculator here ends the same way: a shopping list in store units — bags, gallons, boxes, rolls, pallets — with waste already figured in. Measure once at home, buy once at the store.

The one-trip rule

Every home project has the same hidden tax: the second trip. The bag of mulch you're short, the extra gallon of paint in a slightly different batch, the box of flooring the store no longer stocks. These calculators exist to kill the second trip — they convert your measurements into what the shelf actually sells, with a sensible waste allowance built in.

Everything runs in your browser. No account, no saved data, no email gate — measure, type, buy.

Estimates with the assumptions shown

Every tool states its coverage rates and rules of thumb right on the page — 350 square feet per gallon of paint, 1.4 tons per cubic yard of gravel, ten percent waste on flooring. If your product's label says different, trust the label: it knows the product, we know the math.
