Paint Coverage Calculator

Drop in your room dimensions, count the doors and windows, choose a paint type and coat count. Get back the litres you actually need and how many 5-litre and 2.5-litre tins that translates to in the shop. Plan a whole flat at once with the room tabs; copy the whole shopping list to clipboard when you're done.

Everything is computed locally. Nothing is uploaded.
