Wallpaper Calculator

Estimate wallpaper rolls from a known wall area or measure walls and cut-outs inside the tool.

Pattern repeats can change how many rolls you need. Check the roll label and buy the same batch number.

Useful notes

Does this include pattern repeat?

Not directly. Add extra waste for patterned wallpaper and check the roll instructions.

Can I subtract windows and doors?

Yes. Use measure mode and add cut-outs for windows and doors.

Notes and next steps

How it works

Estimate wallpaper rolls from wall area, roll size and waste allowance.

Estimating method: Adjusted area = wall area × (1 + waste percentage ÷ 100). Rolls = adjusted area ÷ roll area, rounded up.

Worked example

24 m² with 15% waste and 0.53 × 10 m rolls gives 6 rolls.

Common mistakes
  • Ignoring pattern repeat.
  • Not subtracting large openings when useful.
  • Buying different batch numbers.
