The box count is the number shops actually sell, so it is usually the figure to order with. The plank counts are a cross-check: they show how much cutting each row needs, and a room with awkward dimensions can need noticeably more boards than the area suggests.

What Is Flooring Calculator?

The Flooring Calculator works out floor area, how many boxes to buy with a waste allowance, the total cost, and a plank-by-plank count of rows and boards for a plank layout.

Who Uses the Flooring Calculator?

Fitters and DIYers use the box count to order, and the plank count to check how much cutting each row needs, which is where a seemingly simple room suddenly needs extra boards.

How to Use the Flooring Calculator

  1. Enter the room length and width.
  2. Set the waste allowance and box coverage.
  3. Add plank width and length for the board count.
  4. Read boxes, rows, boards per row, and cost.
