How it works
Enter the area to paint, how many coats you plan to apply, and the paint's coverage rate (check the tin — it's usually 8-12 m² per liter) to see how many liters you need to buy.

FAQ
Where do I find the coverage rate?
It's printed on the paint tin, usually as 'coverage' or 'yield', often 8-12 m² per liter depending on the paint and surface.
Should I round up?
Yes — buying a little extra covers touch-ups and avoids running out mid-wall with a different batch.
Should I subtract doors and windows from the area?
For best accuracy, yes — subtract the area of large doors and windows before entering the total, especially if they cover a significant part of the wall.
