Paint Calc

Stop Guessing. Start Quoting with Confidence.

If you paint for a living, you’ve probably done this more times than you can count: walk into a space, take a few quick measurements, do the math in your head, and give a number that “feels right.”

Sometimes it is right.
Sometimes it eats into your margin.

Small misses add up. Underestimating paint by one gallon on every job. Forgetting how much trim or ceiling adds. Not adjusting properly for doors and windows. It is not one big mistake. It is a series of small ones that cost you over time.

Paint Calc is built to fix that without slowing you down.

Built for Real Jobs, Not Theory

This is not a complicated system. It is a tool you can use while standing in a room.

You enter:

  • Length, width, height
  • Number of doors and windows
  • Number of coats
  • Paint you plan to use

That’s it.

The app calculates:

  • Total paintable wall area
  • Paint required (based on real coverage)
  • Total cost based on your paint price

No spreadsheets. No second guessing.

Handle Real-World Details

Most rooms are not perfect rectangles with four identical walls. That is where estimates go wrong.

Paint Calc accounts for:

  • Doors and windows (automatically deducted)
  • Ceilings (optional, different paint if needed)
  • Accent walls (separate paint, separate calculation)

You are not forced into complicated inputs. Just enough detail to stay accurate.

Use Your Paint, Your Pricing

Every painter works differently. Different brands, different coverage, different pricing.

Set up your paints once:

  • Price per gallon
  • Coverage (sq ft per gallon)

Then just select Paint 1, Paint 2, or Paint 3 when quoting.

No re-entering the same information on every job.

Quote Faster on Site

Speed matters when you are walking a job.

With Paint Calc:

  • Add a room in seconds
  • Duplicate similar rooms
  • Adjust numbers on the fly
  • See totals instantly

You can walk a house and build a full estimate without stopping to write things down.

Free for Simple Jobs

If you just need a quick estimator, the free version does the job.

  • Create a project
  • Add rooms
  • Get paint and cost totals

Perfect for small jobs or quick checks.

Built for Painters Who Quote Regularly

The Pro version is where this becomes a business tool.

  • Unlimited projects
  • Different settings per job
  • Send quotes directly from the app

No more scattered notes. No more redoing the same estimate twice.

Why This Matters

Most painters don’t lose money on one job. They lose it slowly across many.

  • Slight underestimates
  • Inconsistent pricing
  • Missed materials

A simple, repeatable system fixes that.

You quote faster.
You stay consistent.
You protect your margins.

Keep It Simple

You do not need a full CRM.
You do not need a complex system.

You need something that:

  • Works on-site
  • Gives accurate numbers
  • Gets out of your way

That is exactly what Paint Calc is built to do.
