Laminate Flooring Calculator
Laminate ships in cartons with a coverage figure on the label — often 18 to 24 sq ft per box depending on plank width. This page pre-fills 20 sq ft; change it to match your carton.
Worked example: 12 by 15 ft room (180 sq ft) with underlayment checked. Underlayment rolls are estimated against total area with waste.
Controls below adjust room size, waste, and coverage per box.
