Calculate paint quantity: Wall paint for painting work
How many liters of paint do you need? Our calculator determines the amount you need:
- Wall area: Length × height of all walls
- Yield: 1 liter for approx. 6-8m² (manufacturer's specification)
- Painting: 1-3 coats depending on the color/substrate
- Deductions: Do not paint doors, windows, tiles
- Reserve: +10% for touch-ups
Typical coverage:
- Wall paint white: 7-8 m²/L
- Dispersion paint: 6-7 m²/L
- Latex paint: 5-6 m²/L
- Dark colors: 5-6 m²/L (poorer coverage)
Example: 40m² wall area, 7 m²/L coverage, 2 coats: 40 / 7 × 2 = 11.4 liters → buy 12L (usually 3× 5L buckets or 2× 10L).
Tip: Paint all walls from one container (color nuances). Primer for highly absorbent substrates.
