What this calculator does

This calculator combines wall and ceiling area, adds waste, and divides by the selected drywall sheet size.

Sheet sizes

The sheet options use common 4x8, 4x10, and 4x12 panels with areas of 32, 40, and 48 square feet.

Waste allowance

Waste helps account for cuts, layout decisions, and damaged panels. Sheet counts are rounded upward.
