Laminate Flooring Calculator
Estimate laminate flooring boxes needed for a room.
How It Works
Boxes = ceil((Room Area × (1 + Waste ÷ 100)) ÷ Coverage per box).
Example
A 12 ft × 10 ft room with 10% waste and 20 sq ft boxes: 132 ÷ 20 = 6.6 → 7 boxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a laminate box cover?
Most laminate boxes cover 15–25 sq ft. Check the label — coverage varies by brand and plank size.
What waste factor for laminate?
10% is typical for straight layouts; 15% for diagonal installations or rooms with many cuts.
Should I buy a full extra box?
Boxes are sold whole, so rounding up to a full box is required — and the extras are handy for repairs.
