Looking for a fast, accurate way to plan your next paint job? Universal Paints’ easy-to-use Paint Calculator estimates the quantities you’ll need—before you head to the store.
How it works
- Choose your product type
- Enter surface dimensions (add as many walls/surfaces as you need)
- Exclude doors and windows (add as many exclusions as you need)
The calculator does the rest. It works out the litres required based on your selected number of coats and surface type, using specifications from our technical data sheets. It supports most products in our comprehensive range.
You’ll also get direct links to your chosen product and an “email to me” option that sends a detailed breakdown straight to your inbox.
Perfect for DIYers and Professionals
Designed for both DIY enthusiasts and pros, the Paint Calculator helps you budget with confidence, reduce waste, and avoid those mid-project “I’m short” moments. Planning a colour change—dark to light or vice versa? The tool factors in multiple coats so you can order exactly what you need, keeping your project on schedule with fewer trips and less guesswork.
A Reliable Rough Estimate
While it provides a rough estimate (not an exact measurement), it’s far more reliable than eyeballing. Whether you’re refreshing a single room, painting your entire home, or tackling a professional project, the Universal Paints Paint Calculator is the smart companion for a smoother, faster paint job.
