How this calculator works

This calculator is best for boxed vinyl plank or vinyl tile. Sheet vinyl is usually planned by roll width and seam position rather than box coverage.

FormulaArea with waste \u00f7 box coverage = boxes to buy

Worked example

A 100 sq ft room with 10% waste needs 110 sq ft. With 24 sq ft per box, buy 5 boxes.

Vinyl Flooring Calculator FAQs

Can I use this for luxury vinyl plank?

Yes. Enter the coverage per LVP carton and your preferred waste allowance.

Can I use this for sheet vinyl?

The area result is useful, but sheet vinyl should also be planned around the manufacturer’s roll width and seam locations.

How much waste is typical for vinyl plank?

Around 5–10% is common for simple rooms, with more for angled rooms or patterned layouts.

Should I subtract kitchen islands?

Subtract permanently covered areas only if the product is not intended to run underneath them. Follow the installation instructions for your flooring.
