Wallpaper Calculator

Calculate how many wallpaper rolls you need based on wall area and roll coverage.

How Does This Calculator Work?

The calculator divides your total wall area by the coverage of a single roll, rounding up to a whole roll — since rolls are sold individually.

Wallpaper rolls have a fixed coverage area, but pattern matching often reduces usable coverage. This calculator gives you a straightforward roll count from your total wall area.

Example Calculation

Accent Wall Example

A 300 sq ft wall area, rolls covering 56 sq ft each.

300 ÷ 56 ≈ 5.36, rounded up to 6 rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy extra for pattern matching?

Yes — large repeat patterns can waste significant material during matching. Add 1–2 extra rolls for large-pattern wallpaper, or check the manufacturer's pattern-repeat guidance.
