Material and Project Calculators

How much material do you need?

Free, accurate calculators for concrete, gravel, mulch, paint, flooring and more. Imperial or metric, with the formula and the waste factor shown every time.

Built for accuracy, not guesswork

Every ComponentCalc tool shows the formula it uses, rounds up so you never come up short on the jobsite, and adds a sensible waste factor for the material. Switch between imperial and metric on any page. The numbers are estimates to plan and price a job, so always confirm the final quantity with your supplier before buying.
