Quantities, costs, and material counts update live as you type.

Every formula here is the one the trades already use. We are not doing anything clever with it, just the arithmetic, instantly, without a calculator app and a notepad.

Built for contractors, estimators, and DIY builders

Getting a material quantity wrong costs money in both directions. Over-order and you have paid for a pile of leftovers. Under-order and the job stops while you drive back to the supplier. Each calculator here does one estimate properly, which is faster than a spreadsheet and harder to get wrong than doing it in your head.

Standard trade math

Cubic feet to cubic yards on a concrete pour, slope factors on a roof, board feet on a lumber order. Nothing proprietary, just the formulas already in use, applied consistently.

Waste allowances included

Estimates account for real job-site cutting losses, between 5% and 15% depending on the material and the layout. A herringbone floor wastes far more than a straight one, and the numbers here reflect that.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. No sign-up, no email gate, no account. Open a page and start typing. There is nothing to unlock and no paid tier holding back the useful features.

The arithmetic is exact and the formulas are the standard ones the trades already use. What varies is everything the math cannot see: waste, site conditions, how a particular brand actually behaves. That is why we round sensibly and tell you to add 5 to 10% on material orders, and why we won't pretend the number is final.

No. Everything runs in the browser as you type. Nothing to download, no plugin, no spreadsheet to keep a copy of.

Yes. Every calculator is built to work one-handed on a phone, which is the realistic case: you are holding a tape measure with the other hand.
