What this vinyl plank calculator calculates
A 12 × 20 ft room contains 240 ft². With 48 × 6 in planks, each plank covers 2 ft² before waste.
Formula
Room area ÷ plank coverage × (1 + waste) = planks; divide by planks per carton and round up.
Worked example
Ten percent waste changes 240 ft² to 264 ft². At 2 ft² per plank, the field needs 132 planks before carton rounding.
Ordering decision
Hallways, stagger rules, closets, and damaged-end cuts drive plank waste.
