What this stud count calculator calculates
A 16 ft wall at 16 in OC has 13 field positions before adding the two jamb members for an opening and corner framing.
Formula
Ceiling(wall length × 12 ÷ spacing) + 1 + opening jambs + corner/end members, then add waste.
Worked example
For 16 ft, 16 in OC, one opening, two corners, and 10% waste, 17 base studs rounds to 19 ordered studs.
Ordering decision
Add king studs, cripples, plates, backing, and blocking from the actual wall layout.

Wall studs at on-center spacing
This stud count calculator estimates field studs, opening framing, corner members, and a cut allowance from wall length and spacing. It is a takeoff, not a complete framing schedule.
