Paint (Gal) = (Total Wall Area - Openings) × Coats / Coverage per Gallon (~350 sq ft)

Calculates net paintable square footage and divides by typical 350 sq ft/gal coverage rating.

Step-by-Step Example

Room 12×14 ft with 8 ft ceiling, 2 coats

1Perimeter = 2×(14+12) = 52 ft
2Wall area = 52 × 8 = 416 sq ft
32 coats = 832 sq ft
4832 / 350 = 2.38 gal
Result: 2.4 Gallons (Purchase 3 Gal)
