Vinyl flooring calculator

Estimate outputs: Area, Area with allowance, Whole packages. Adjust Length, Width, Coverage per pack to match your project.

Inputs and units

Use the units shown beside each field. Replace the sample values with your measurements and the figures on the selected product packaging.

Parameter	Example input
Length	5 m
Width	4 m
Coverage per pack	2.1 m²
Waste allowance	7 %

Formula and assumptions

Area with allowance
Length × Width × (1 + Waste allowance / 100)

Whole packages
ceil(Area with allowance / Coverage per pack)

ceil = round up; floor = round down; max = the greater value. Trigonometric angles are converted from degrees to radians.

Allowance is applied before rounding to whole packages. Whole units are rounded up; displayed decimals are rounded only for readability.

Coverage depends on the product, substrate and installation method. Enter the supplier’s consumption figures; an area estimate cannot replace a cutting layout.

Worked example

Sample values are examples, not product specifications. Run the calculation again with your own measurements.

Result	Calculation
Area	20 m²
Area with allowance	21.4 m²
