Frequently Asked Questions

Is this paint calculator free?
Yes, completely free with no signup required.
Does my data leave my device?
No. All calculations happen in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The tool is mobile-first and works on any modern browser.
How much paint does a gallon cover?
Standard interior paint covers roughly 350 sqft per gallon per coat. High-build primers may cover less. Always buy 10% extra for touch-ups and texture variation.
Should I use 1 or 2 coats?
Two coats give the best color coverage and durability. One coat may suffice when painting a similar color on top of a well-primed, smooth surface.
