What are you working on?

38 calculators

Sheet goods

Plywood, MDF, bar stock and trim — every part out of the fewest sheets.

Framing

Stairs, roofs, walls and decks. The geometry, drawn and dimensioned.

Finishing

Tile, concrete, gravel and paint — quantities you can actually order.

Tile Layout Planner Tile counts, edge cuts, and a start point that balances the cuts on both walls. Open tool → Concrete Volume Calculator Volume for slabs, footings, columns and post holes, plus how many bags that actually is. Open tool → Gravel & Aggregate Calculator Volume and tonnage for aggregates, including the compaction allowance most calculators forget. Open tool → Paint Coverage Calculator Litres or gallons per coat with openings subtracted, rounded up to real tin sizes. Open tool → Firewood Cord Calculator Cords, face cords and the real price per cord from any stack, so you can compare quotes. Open tool → Rebar Spacing & Quantity Calculator Bar count and positions each way, total length with laps, ties and weight for a slab. Open tool → Flooring Plank Layout Calculator Rows, last-row width, joint stagger and boxes to buy for any plank flooring. Open tool → Wallpaper Calculator With Pattern Repeat Rolls needed once the pattern repeat is accounted for — the part most calculators ignore. Open tool → Suspended Ceiling Grid Calculator Tiles, runners, cross tees and border widths balanced on both sides of the room. Open tool → Brick & Block Quantity Calculator Brick and block quantities, joint volume and product-specific mortar bags. Open tool → Trench & Excavation Volume Calculator Dig volume, spoil bulking, backfill after bedding, and how many loads to cart away. Open tool → Tank Volume & Fill Level Calculator Capacity and litres at any depth, including horizontal cylinders, with a dipstick table. Open tool → Grout & Adhesive Calculator Grout and adhesive by weight from tile size, joint width and trowel notch, with bags to buy. Open tool → Epoxy Resin Volume & Cost Calculator River table and pour volume with waste allowance, litres or gallons, and the cost of the pour. Open tool → Epoxy Mix Ratio Calculator Parts A and B for any batch size, by volume or weight, from the ratio on your label. Open tool →

Joinery

Layouts that divide evenly, with templates you print at full size.

Questions

Is any of this really free?

Yes, and there is nothing to sign up for. The tools run entirely in your browser, so there is no server cost per user and no reason to put anything behind a login.

Do you store what I type?

No. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is saved, and there is no tracking. Close the tab and it is gone — which also means write your numbers down if you need them again.

Millimetres or inches?

Both, on every tool. The unit selector converts the whole form, and the drawings and cut lists follow.

Can I rely on this for structural work?

No. These are planning aids. Span tables, building regulations and a qualified opinion are what structural decisions need — the geometry here is a starting point, not a sign-off.
