Coverage rates vary by paint brand, surface texture and application method — check your product label for its stated coverage.

Whole room

Perimeter × height, with an option to add the ceiling — the most common way to estimate a full room repaint.

Single wall

For an accent wall or a single surface, just enter that wall's length and height.

Doors & windows

Standard doors (~21 sq ft) and windows (~15 sq ft) are subtracted automatically so you don't over-buy.

Coats & coverage

Most jobs use 2 coats. Coverage typically runs 300–400 sq ft per gallon depending on the paint and surface.
