Quick Start

Enter your wall's total square footage. If you're unsure, just multiply the length and height of your room walls.
02
Pick Quality
Select your brand or quality level. Premium paints cover more area with less liquid, which our engine calculates for you.

Get Shopping List
Review your results to see exactly how many drums or gallons you need to buy, including wastage and labor costs.
Mastering Your Home Painting Project: A Comprehensive Guide
A fresh coat of paint can transform your home, but the planning phase is where most people get overwhelmed. Between choosing the right shade and figuring out the exact number of buckets, things can get messy. Our smart estimator removes the guesswork, factoring in wall absorption and material quality so you don’t end up with half-empty drums cluttering your garage. In 2026, with the rise in material costs, every drop counts, and being precise with your volume can save you thousands in unnecessary purchases.
The key to a professional finish lies in understanding surface area and texture. A smooth, previously painted wall will consume significantly less paint than a fresh, porous plaster surface. Our tool accounts for these variations, ensuring that your shopping list is as accurate as a contractor's manual.
💡 Pro Painter's Secret: The Batch Number & Mixing
Always check the Batch Number on your paint buckets. Even the same color from the same brand can have a 2-3% shade difference if produced in different batches. Professionals use a technique called "boxing" where they mix multiple buckets together in a large container to ensure a seamless, uniform finish across all walls. Buy all your paint at once to avoid mid-project color mismatches.
Local Paint Quality & Coverage Guide
Not all paints are created equal. High-quality emulsions contain more "solids," meaning they cover more area with less liquid. Use this guide to understand how much area different qualities of paint typically cover per liter in the local market:
| Paint Type | Avg. Coverage (SqFt/L) | Recommended For |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Emulsion (Plastic) | 140 - 160 | Drawing Rooms & High-Traffic Areas 🛋️ |
| Weather Sheet (Exterior) | 110 - 130 | Outdoor Walls & Boundary Fences 🏠 |
| Standard Matt Finish | 120 - 140 | Modern Bedrooms & Ceilings 🛌 |
| Standard Distemper | 80 - 100 | Stores, Low-Budget Rooms & Rentals 📦 |
| Wall Primer (Base Coat) | 100 - 120 | Fresh Plaster & Dark-to-Light Changes ✨ |
Why Precision Estimation Saves Money
When you underestimate, you pay extra for emergency delivery and small-pack premiums. When you overestimate, the leftover paint usually dries up and goes to waste. By using a data-driven approach, you can factor in a 10% wastage buffer—the industry standard for spillages, roller absorption, and "cutting-in" corners. This ensures you have exactly enough to finish the job without the clutter.
