How the laminate flooring calculator works
Calculate the laminate flooring area and number of cartons needed for a rectangular room. Enter the coverage printed on your laminate flooring box.
Required flooring = room area × (1 + waste%). Boxes = required flooring ÷ coverage per box, rounded up. The calculator is designed to give a useful first-pass material estimate while keeping the assumptions visible. For a purchase, compare the result with the product packaging or supplier quotation.
