For materials sold by coverage, such as wall or floor panels. Rounds up to whole pieces; excludes labor.

Formula and method

Pieces = round up(area × (1 + waste/100) ÷ coverage per piece). Cost = pieces × price per piece.

Worked example

For 20 m², 0.2 m² coverage per piece and 10% waste, buy 110 pieces. At THB 50 each, the material cost is THB 5,500.

Frequently asked question

Can I use the panel’s physical area as coverage?

Use net coverage from the manufacturer. Overlaps and joints may reduce usable coverage below the panel’s width times length.
