Enter your room size and the coverage per box to get boxes, underlayment, and a waste factor — for LVP, laminate, hardwood, or tile.
FloorPro does this takeoff on every job and turns it into a branded estimate you can text on the spot — about $10/month, no per-user fees, no cut of your payments.

For a 195 square foot room with 20 square feet per box and 10% waste, that's about 11 boxes. Always buy a little extra from the same dye lot for future repairs.
Use about 5% for a simple square or rectangular room with straight runs, 10% as a standard allowance, and 15% or more for diagonal layouts, herringbone or chevron patterns, or rooms with lots of angles and closets where you'll make many cuts.
Most floating floors (laminate and many LVP products) need an underlayment for cushioning, sound, and moisture control — unless the planks have it pre-attached. Underlayment is sold by the roll; divide your room square footage by the coverage per roll and round up.
Break the room into rectangles, calculate each one's square footage, and add them together. Then apply your waste factor to the total. For odd angles, measure the largest rectangle that contains the space and treat the offcuts as part of your waste allowance.
Yes. Color and texture can vary slightly between manufacturing batches (dye lots), so buy your whole job — plus your waste allowance and a spare box or two — in one order to keep everything matched.
