How this paint calculator works

Exterior wall area is estimated at about 1.3 times the floor area for a typical two-story Ohio home. Gallons assume 350 square feet per gallon per coat, rounded up. Pro pricing uses $2–$6 per square foot of floor area for interiors and $1.50–$4.50 for exteriors, adjusted for ceilings, coats and prep.
