How to use

Laminate ships in plank boxes. Enter the room size and plank width (a 6-inch × 48-inch plank is about 2 ft²), and the calculator returns the planks and boxes you need, plus a 10% waste buffer.

FAQ

Is laminate calculated the same as wood flooring?

Yes — both are sold by plank area. Use the same plank-width input; only the price per plank differs.

How much laminate waste is safe?

10% for straight installs, up to 15% for stairs or patterned layouts.

Do I need underlay in this count?

No — this counts the visible laminate. Buy underlay by the same square footage separately.
