Wallpaper Calculator

Enter room dimensions, roll size, and pattern repeat. Get exact strip count and rolls needed—with seam overlap and pattern waste applied automatically.

1 Room Dimensions

Strips end above baseboard

Strips end below crown

Note on openings: Strips hang continuously over doors and windows and are trimmed after hanging. This calculator uses the conservative approach — door and window widths are not deducted from your strip count.

2 Roll Size

American standard: 27 in

American standard: 27 ft

Presets:

Butt seam (0") is standard. Overlap seam used for commercial vinyls only. Learn the difference.

3 Pattern & Match Type

Each strip must start at the same point in the pattern cycle, so strips are cut longer than the wall height to align seams. Common repeats: 18", 24", 27". Set to 0 for no repeat.

These estimates use the same formulas as the SiteScope app. Actual quantities depend on wall conditions, installer technique, and product specifications. Always verify with your supplier before ordering.

See it in the app

Add cutouts, doors, and windows—see exactly where every strip lands.

In SiteScope, assign wallpaper to any wall from a 3D floor plan. The continuous elevation shows every seam, roll boundary, and pattern repeat. Openings are mapped to exact positions so you know which repeats fall behind doors and windows before you order.

Continuous wall elevation showing strip layout, roll count, and pattern saves

Continuous elevation — strip seams (S1–S30), roll boundaries (R1–R10), and pattern saves highlighted in green where repeats fall behind openings

Wallpaper assignment card showing perimeter, strips, repeats, pattern saves, cost and margin

Custom openings per wall

Add exact door and window positions. Cutout regions excluded from strip placement, not just averaged out.

Pattern save detection

Identifies pattern repeats that fall entirely behind openings — shown in green, counted as potential savings in the assignment card.

Kill point planning

Set the start position and papering direction, then see the seam layout across all walls before hanging a single strip.

Cost, charge, and margin per roll

Enter your cost and charge per roll. SiteScope applies them to every assignment and totals them in the takeoff tab.
