What this calculator does
•Wall area = wall length × wall height
•Paintable area = wall area + ceiling area − (doors × area per door) − (windows × area per window)
•Gallons = paintable area × coats ÷ coverage per gallon
•Litres = gallons × 3.7854
•Containers = litres ÷ container size, rounded up
Deterministic by design: no AI, no lookups, no network calls — the same inputs always give the same numbers. Product values such as coverage rates and bundle counts are editable and shown with the result.
