Calculations are based on average coating performance by gallon to square feet. For this calculator, we go by 350 square feet per gallon for walls and ceilings. For the trim portion of the estimate, add up the linear square feet for window, door and baseboard trim surfaces. It's possible the baseboards or window/door trim is wider or narrower and will need to be adjusted.
Labor Calculations are based on an effective painter's performance of 180 square feet per hour.
Remember, this calculator cannot adjust for drying time in between coats and the different surfaces being coated. It should give you an idea of how much it will take in actual work hours, not the entire duration of the project.
