Paint Quantity Calculator

Calculations for Paint Quantity Calculator

Let’s understand with the help of an example, how to use the above Paint quantity calculator. 

Assumptions For Example

  • Perimeter of Internal wall length Wise = 20 m = l
  • Perimeter of External wall length Wise = 30 m = b
  • Height of wall = 5 m = h
  • Carpet Area = 20 m2 = A
  • Window (Length, Width, Quantity) = (2 m , 2 m , 1)
  • Door (Length, Width, Quantity) = (3 m , 2 m , 1)
  • Putty consumption for 2 coat = 1.3 m2/Kg  
  • Primer consumption for 1 coat = 9 m2/L 
  • Paint consumption for 2 coat = 6.5 m2/L

Calculation Procedure

  • Step 1: Calculation of Surface Area to be Painted
    Surface Area=(((l +b) x h)+A -(Area of window +Area of Door))
    = ((20+30)x5 + 20 – (2x2x1) – (3x2x1)) = 230 m2

  • Step 2: Calculation of Amount of Putty
    Amount of Putty for 2 coat = Surface Area / 1.3
    = 230 / 1.3
    = 177 Kg

  • Step 3: Calculation of Amount of Primer
    Amount of Primer for 1 coat = Surface Area / 9
    = 230 / 9
    = 25.55 L

  • Step 4: Calculation of Amount of Paint
    Amount of Paint for 2 coat = Surface Area / 6.5
    = 230 / 6.5
    = 36 L

Final Result

Surface Area to be Painted = 230 m2
Amount of Putty = 177 Kg
Amount of Primer = 25.55 L
Amount of Paint = 36 L
