How to calculate subfloor panel quantity estimator
This calculator finds how many subfloor panels are needed to cover a total requirement, rounded up.
How the calculation works
Panels needed = ceil(Total requirement ÷ Coverage per unit).
Example
1,200 sq ft requirement, panels covering 32 sq ft each (standard 4x8 sheet): ceil(1,200÷32) = 38 panels.
Frequently asked questions
