Paint Consumption Calculator
Calculate how many liters or kilograms of paint you need for walls, ceilings, facades or another surface.
Calculation data
Enter the area or surface dimensions, paint consumption from the label, number of coats and allowance. The calculator does not use any specific product data.
Formula
- Material = area, m² × consumption per 1 m² × number of coats.
- With allowance: material × (1 + allowance / 100).
- Packages = material with allowance / can size.
What to consider
- Use the consumption per m² from the label or technical sheet of your paint.
- Porous surfaces, high color contrast and long-pile rollers can increase real consumption.
Calculation questions
What paint consumption should I enter?
Enter the value from the can or technical sheet: for example 0.12-0.18 l/m² for one coat. If the manufacturer gives a range, use the upper value for purchasing.
Can I calculate paint in kilograms?
Yes. If consumption is stated in kg/m², enter the package size in kilograms as well, and the result will be in kg.
