Drywall Calculator

Estimate the drywall sheets, joint tape, compound, and screws a room needs, with deductions for doors and windows and an option to include the ceiling.

This is the tool to reach for after water damage, when soaked drywall has to come out and go back up. Enter the room size and how many doors and windows to skip, and the calculator adds a 10 percent allowance for cuts and waste before rounding up to whole sheets.

Joint tape rolls
Compound buckets
Screws

Estimate only. Includes a 10 percent waste allowance. Mud and tape coverage vary by finish level and crew.
