Free finish-material calculator

Estimate drywall mud, tape, and screws.

Enter the installed drywall area to convert coverage assumptions into gallons, linear feet, pounds, and practical package counts for ordering.

Installed-area input

Convert square footage into finish materials.

Use installed area before board-order waste. These materials cover the drywall actually hung and finished, so BoardCount does not add the sheet waste percentage here.
