Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this wallpaper 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.
- Why does the calculator add 10% extra?
- Wallpaper installation always produces waste from cutting strips to length and matching patterns. 10% is the standard buffer; add another roll when working with large repeating patterns or diagonal cuts.
- What is the standard wallpaper roll size?
- US double rolls are typically 21 inches wide and 33 feet long (covers ~56 sqft). European rolls are usually 20.5 in × 33 ft. Always check the label for exact dimensions.
