Formula and methodology
Formula: Required litres = area × coats / coverage; cans = ceiling(required litres/can size).
This estimate separates the surface area, number of coats, manufacturer coverage, and purchase rounding so each assumption can be changed.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Paintable area — m²; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000000
- Number of coats — minimum 1; maximum 1000
- Coverage per litre — m²/L; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Can size — L; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Paintable area | 40 |
| Number of coats | 2 |
| Coverage per litre | 10 |
| Can size | 2.5 |
Required paint = 8 L; cans to buy = 4.
Assumptions and limits
- Coverage is the manufacturer’s stated average for the actual paint and surface.
- All coats use the same coverage rate.
- Windows, doors, primer, texture, absorption, and touch-up reserve are not automatically removed or added.
