Drywall Calculator

Our drywall calculator helps you determine the number of drywall sheets, joint compound, tape, and fasteners needed for your wall and ceiling project. Whether you're finishing a basement, building new walls, or replacing damaged drywall, this tool calculates all the materials required for a complete installation.

Accurate material estimation is essential for drywall projects because running short mid-project causes delays, while over-ordering wastes money and storage space. The calculator accounts for both walls and ceilings, and includes appropriate waste factors for cuts around windows, doors, and electrical boxes.

This calculator is ideal for DIY homeowners tackling their first drywall project, contractors preparing material estimates, and anyone wondering "how many sheets of drywall do I need for a room?" The tool also calculates finishing supplies like joint compound (mud) and paper tape to complete the job.
