Sheet Materials Calculator

Enter the area size, choose a sheet size (or custom), add wastage, and get an estimate of sheets required. Results round up to whole sheets.

Mode: Cuts/layout:

Area length (m)

Area width (m)

Wastage (%)

Sheet size (mm)

Tip: If you have lots of corners/obstacles, increase “Cuts/layout” and/or wastage.

Notes: This is an estimator. Stud/joist spacing, sheet orientation, openings, and cutting patterns can change quantities.
