Strip-by-strip maths

Unlike an area calculator, this tool plans each strip individually — the same approach an experienced decorator uses when quoting a patterned job, and the only way to get the waste right.

Pattern repeat accounted for

Enter the repeat distance from the batch label and the calculator adjusts every strip length automatically. No manual fudge factors, no under-ordering on the cut-loss.

Any roll size

Not every supplier ships 53 cm × 10 m rolls. Enter the exact dimensions from your batch and the roll count reflects those numbers, not a standard assumption.

Client-ready output

The paid plan unlocks a cutting plan and order list you can print or send straight to the client — seam positions, strip lengths, roll assignment, and total order quantity on one page.

When you need more than a calculator

The estimator for contractors covers quoting workflows, pattern-repeat waste, and multi-room projects — with guides written for the trade side of the job.

Common questions

Is this professional wallpaper calculator free to use?

The roll-count calculation is free — draw the room, enter your roll dimensions, and get an accurate count including pattern repeat. The detailed cutting plan and workbench sheets, which you can hand straight to the job, are available on the paid plan.

Can I use it to quote patterned wallpaper for a client?

Yes. Enter the pattern repeat distance and the calculator adjusts strip lengths to match — which means the roll count is accurate on patterned jobs rather than under-estimating waste at the seams.

Does it support custom roll sizes?

Yes. Enter the exact width and length from the batch your client is ordering. Not every supplier ships standard 53 cm × 10 m rolls, and the calculator does not assume one.

Can I estimate multiple rooms in one project?

Currently each room is planned separately; sum the roll counts across rooms to get your total order. Multi-room batch quoting is on the roadmap.

How is this different from a basic area calculator?

A basic area calculator divides wall area by roll area and rounds up. That under-estimates real usage on patterned wallpaper because it ignores the repeat offset cut from each strip. This calculator works strip by strip — the same logic an experienced decorator uses when quoting.
