• Planning a project starts with knowing exactly how much material you need. Our Coverage Calculator makes it simple to estimate board feet, square footage, and total cost in just a few steps.

    Step 1: Enter Your Material Dimensions

    Start by filling in the three required fields:

    • Thickness (inches) – The thickness of your board

    • Width (inches) – The width of your material

    • Length (feet) – The total length of the board

    These values are used to calculate your base coverage.

    Step 2: Add Optional Details (Recommended)

    To get a more accurate estimate, you can include:

    • Waste Factor (%)
      This accounts for extra material needed due to cuts, mistakes, or design adjustments. A typical range is 10–20% depending on your project.

    • Price per Board Foot ($)
      Enter your material cost to instantly calculate your estimated total.

    Step 3: Click “Calculate Estimate”

    Once your values are entered, click the Calculate Estimate button to generate your results.

Coverage Calculator

Estimate board feet, linear feet, square footage, and project waste.

Please enter valid numbers greater than zero for thickness, width, and length.

Base Coverage

Linear Feet (LF) 0 lf
Board Feet (BF) 0 bf
Square Feet (SF) 0 sq ft
Estimated Material Cost $0.00

Formula used: Board Feet = Thickness in inches × Width in feet × Length in feet.
Linear Feet = Length. Square Feet = Width in feet × Length in feet.
