How to Calculate Paint for a Dining room

Follow these steps to get the right amount of paint for any dining room project, then use the calculator below to skip the math.

  1. Measure the area. Multiply length × width in feet to get square footage.
  2. Convert to gallons. Total square feet × number of coats ÷ 350 = gallons needed.
  3. Add overage. Multiply by 1.10 to cover 10% waste.
  4. Round up. Always round up to the next whole gallon or bag.
