Your material plan

Enter your measurements to build a material plan.

Each line has a required quantity, allowance, pack size and price per unit. Purchase rounding happens before cost calculation. The entered tax applies to subtotal plus delivery. Tax rules and rates are manual inputs; this is not a tax determination service. All lines must use one currency, with no automatic exchange conversion.

Calculation method

Qᵢ = ceil(qᵢ × (1 + rᵢ/100) / sᵢ) × sᵢ; C = (Σ(Qᵢ × pᵢ) + D) × (1 + T/100)

Measure. Calculate. Build.

  1. Use actual dimensions and split complex rooms into rectangles.
  2. Allow for cuts, joints and package sizes. Compare stock formats.
  3. Combine your results in a shopping list you can save and print.
