How to calculate roof coating gallons
This calculator finds how many gallons of roof coating are needed by dividing roof area by coverage per gallon, rounded up.
How the calculation works
Gallons needed = ceil(Roof area ÷ Coverage per gallon).
Example
2,000 sq ft roof area at 100 sq ft coverage per gallon (a common rate for a thick elastomeric coating): ceil(2,000÷100) = 20 gallons.
