Industry-Standard Formulas Used
Wall Area = (Wall1 + Wall2 + Wall3 + Wall4) × Height - Doors - Windows - Other Subtractions
Ceiling Area = Length × Width
Trim Area = (Baseboard + Casing + Crown) × 0.5 (converted from LF)
Paint Needed = (Surface Area / 350) × (1 + Waste Factor) × Coats
Prep Time = Total Area / 150 sq ft per hour
Paint Time = Total Area / 125 sq ft per hour
Cleanup Time = 0.5 hours per room
Labor & Cost Calculations:
Project Duration (Elapsed Time) = Total Labor Hours / Crew Size
Total Labor Cost = Project Duration × Billable Rate ($/hr)
Material Cost = (Primer Cost + Paint Cost + Tape Cost + Drop Cloths) × (1 + Supplies %)
Total Project Cost = Labor Cost + Material Cost
Note: Billable rate is your operations cost per hour, not employee wages. More workers reduce project duration, which reduces labor cost proportionally.
Materials Calculations:
Tape = Linear Feet / 60 (standard roll coverage)
Drop Cloths = 1 per 150 sq ft floor area
Plastic = Floor Area × 1.2 (for coverage overlap)
Rollers = 1 per 400 sq ft + 1 spare
Brushes = 2 per project (trim + cutting)
Trays = 1 per 600 sq ft
