Drywall Calculator — free online calculator.
Formula
- Drywall Calculator calculates its result from Height, Length, Width, Sheet Area, Wastage. It uses the formula Wall Area = 2 × (L + W) × H; Sheets = ceil(Wall Area / Sheet Area × (1 + Wastage/100)). Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Height, Length, Width, Sheet Area, Wastage. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Keep measurements and project assumptions consistent before comparing or combining values.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Drywall
- Height: 2
- Length: 3
- Width: 4
- Sheet Area: 5
- Wastage: 14
Using Height = 2, Length = 3, Width = 4, Sheet Area = 5, Wastage = 14, the calculated result is 7.
