Walls make a first impression faster than accessories

Painting Calculator

Estimate painting costs, including area, height, substrate preparation, priming, skim coats, colours, coats and paint.
This calculator organises the scope before you talk about timing, materials and finishing standard.
Good painting starts long before the first coat of paint.

Surface area, preparation and painting standard

Estimate Painting Scope

Enter rooms, choose the preparation scope and decide whether you are estimating walls only or ceilings as well.
Treat the result as a reference point before an individual quote.

Painting area and scope
  • Walls - the calculator converts floor area and room height into an indicative wall surface area, adjusted for typical openings.
  • Ceilings - you can add them separately if the scope also includes painting the upper plane.
  • Rooms - you can estimate one room or several interiors, with the result shown as a total and by item.
Pricing elements
  • Substrate preparation - from no preparation, through developer standard, to washing, minor repairs and comprehensive preparation.
  • Priming - a separate item that matters for absorbent, fresh or uneven surfaces.
  • Q3/Q4 skim coats - added when painting requires earlier levelling and refinement of the walls.
  • Colours and coats - the calculator distinguishes a simple single colour, several colours and a higher number of coats.
  • Paint - you can estimate a variant without paint or with Comfort, Prestige or Luxury class paint.
How to read the result
  • Gross as the main result - the summary shows the indicative gross cost and net value.
  • Price per m² - the average rate helps compare variants and quickly see what influences the cost most.
  • Indicative estimate - the final price depends on the actual wall condition, protection work, colours, cut-in edges and paint standard.
1

Rooms and height

The calculator estimates wall surface area based on floor area and room height.

How do we calculate walls? We assume a room close to a square and deduct around 10% for openings. This does not replace measurement, but gives a sensible starting point.
2

Preparation and scope

The condition of walls and ceilings has a major impact on the final cost.

3

Finishing standard

Skim coats, number of colours, number of coats and paint can change the result more than area alone.

This calculation is not a commercial offer.
The calculator is a supporting tool and shows an indicative cost of works.
We can confirm the final price only after reviewing the scope, finishing standard and property condition during an inspection.
