About Paint Calculator

This free paint calculator takes the guesswork out of any painting project by telling you exactly how much paint to buy before you head to the store. Enter your room length, width, and wall height, or type in the total wall area in square feet, then choose the number of coats and subtract standard doors and windows. The calculator instantly shows your paintable area, the exact gallons needed, and how many gallons to buy, rounded up so you never run short mid-wall. It uses US measurements throughout, with a default coverage of 350 square feet per gallon that you can adjust for primer, rough, or porous surfaces. Whether you are estimating interior wall paint for a single bedroom, figuring out how many gallons of paint for a whole living room, or planning a full house repaint, this tool gives a fast, reliable answer. It is one of Intellure's free tools, built to run entirely in your browser so nothing you enter is uploaded or stored, and if you run a painting business or home services company, Intellure's AI employee can handle the customer questions and bookings that come after the estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much paint do I need for one room?
For an average bedroom of about 12 by 10 feet with 8 foot walls, you have roughly 350 square feet of wall. Subtract one door and one window and you are close to 315 square feet, which is about one gallon per coat. Most walls need two coats, so you would buy two gallons. Enter your own room size above and the calculator gives you the exact number for your space.
How many square feet does a gallon of paint cover?
One gallon of interior wall paint typically covers 350 to 400 square feet on a smooth, primed surface with a single coat. This calculator uses 350 square feet per gallon by default to keep you from running short. Rough, textured, or porous surfaces and dark-to-light color changes absorb more paint, so lower the coverage number or add a coat if that describes your walls.
How does the paint calculator handle doors and windows?
It subtracts a standard 21 square feet for each door and 15 square feet for each window from your wall area, since you do not paint those surfaces. Enter how many of each the room has and the estimate updates automatically. If your doors or windows are unusually large, you can leave them out and round your gallons up to stay safe.
Should I round up when buying paint?
Yes. Always round up to the next full gallon so you finish the job without a second trip to the store, and keep a quart for touch-ups after the paint dries. Paint from the same batch matches best, so buying a little extra up front avoids visible color differences later. This calculator already rounds your buy amount up for you and shows a quart figure for small jobs.
Can Intellure do this automatically for my painting business?
Yes. This paint calculator is a free self-serve tool, but if you run a painting company, handyman service, or home improvement business, Intellure gives you a managed AI employee that answers customer questions, sends quotes, follows up with leads, and books estimates and jobs 24/7 across WhatsApp, Instagram, and your website. It handles the back-and-forth so you can stay on the ladder, and this calculator stays free to use no matter what.
