MDC Estimating Calculator

This reference tool can be used to determine the quantity of wallcovering needed. In the field below, please enter the square footage for your project along with the width of the material. If you are unsure of the total square footage, you can enter the room dimensions and the calculator will supply the appropriate quantities.


Perimeter of Room :     Feet    

Height of Room :          Feet    

Width of Material:





Approximate Square Feet :                

Approximate Linear Yards*:     

These are exact yardage amounts and do not allow for waste caused by pattern repeat. A minimum 10 percent waste factor is a good figure to consider; however, a matching pattern with a large repeat would require additional material compared to a textured pattern without a match. All contractors should be aware of the pattern, width, and match before submitting final figures.
