In-depth explanation
Estimate paint from room size, wall height, coats, and coverage on the tin. Doors and windows are deducted with simple averages. Everything runs locally in your browser — your inputs are not uploaded to produce the result.
Perimeter walls (2 × (length + width) × height), minus approximate door and window areas. Use the figure on your paint tin. Many emulsion paints cover about 10–14 m² per litre (or ~300–400 ft² per gallon).
Rounding up slightly helps with touch-ups and darker colours that need more coats. Tweak the inputs above to compare options, then copy or note the result you need.
