Adjust the waste allowance
Most calculators include a waste percentage field. The default is a recommended starting point - increase it for complex cuts or awkward layouts, reduce it for simple runs.
3
Click Calculate
Your material quantities appear instantly. Results show packs, bags, or units needed, plus the total area or volume for reference.
4
Add UK market prices (optional)
Click Get UK Market Prices if the option appears. This loads current trade rates and gives you a cost estimate alongside your quantities. You can edit any of the prices before calculating if your own rates differ.
5
Save to a project
Click Save to Project to store these results. You can create a new project or add the line to an existing one. You can save one project for free, or upgrade to a Pro account to store as many as you need with cloud backup and access across all your devices.

Print or export
Use the Print or Export CSV buttons to save your results. The print layout is clean and formatted for site use or handing to a client.
Your saved projects are under My Projects in the menu. Each project collects all your calculator results in one place - handy for pricing up a full job. You can freely amend any part of a project at any point. With a Pro account you can also send polished quotes to clients or material specs direct to subcontractors.

We use analytics to understand which calculators people use most, so we can prioritise improvements and new features. Declining means we build blind - we won't know what's working or what to fix next.
