Parquet / Laminate Calculator

This calculator estimates how many laminate or parquet packs you need from floor area, waste ratio, and per-pack coverage.

When pack price is provided, it also computes total material budget so users can compare purchasing scenarios before ordering.

Net area (m2) is the true installable surface. Built-in cabinets, columns, and fixed furniture can change effective area.

Waste ratio reflects cutting, pattern matching, and handling loss. Pack coverage should be taken from product technical labels.

Core logic is net_material = area x (1 + waste/100). Required packs are computed as ceil(net_material / pack_coverage).

Total cost is pack_count x price_per_pack. Upward rounding is intentional because flooring is purchased in full packs.

Output is the direct mathematical result of your measured area and selected assumptions; it is not a contractual bill of quantities.

Read pack count and cost together. Choosing too low waste may reduce upfront budget but increase re-order risk and schedule delay.

Example: area 38 m2, waste 10%, pack coverage 2.1 m2. Net requirement becomes 41.8 m2 and required packs are ceil(41.8/2.1)=20.

If price is 45 USD per pack, total material cost becomes 900 USD. At 7% waste, pack count may drop, but cut-loss risk increases.

The tool is strong for early planning but cannot fully model subfloor condition, layout complexity, installer method, or site losses.
