Quick estimates for the maths every DIY project hides — concrete, tile, square footage, conversions and more. Free, no sign-up, ready before you mix your first bag.
Each calculator opens in its own page, runs entirely in your browser, and remembers nothing about you. Use them as often as you like.
Estimate cubic yards for slabs, footings and columns. Punch in your dimensions and get an order-ready number in seconds.
Open tool →Estimate roof area from pitch and base footprint, then preview typical material quantities and budget impact.
Open tool →Estimate gravel volume, tons, bag count, and budget for driveways, trenches, and landscape base layers.
Open tool →Measure rooms, decks or yards in square feet. Perfect for flooring, paint, sod and material estimates.
Open tool →Count tiles needed for any floor or wall with a 10 % waste margin so you never run short on grout day.
Open tool →Translate numbers to Roman numerals and back. Handy for signs, monograms, anniversaries and craft projects.
Open tool →Convert between metric and imperial units — length, weight, volume and temperature — without leaving the build.
Open tool →Calculate dew point, relative humidity, or air temperature from any two known values for weather and comfort checks.
Open tool →Estimate apparent cold temperature from wind speed and air temperature for safer outdoor planning.
Open tool →Estimate feels-like heat from temperature and humidity to gauge summer heat stress risk.
Open tool →Estimate appliance electricity usage and cost from wattage, load, runtime, and utility price.
Open tool →Estimate AC or heating BTU needs for rooms and home areas using size, insulation, and temperature difference.
Open tool →Switch between US, UK, EU and Asia sizing in one tap. Useful for handmade footwear, gifts and pattern fitting.
Open tool →Find the right band and cup based on simple measurements. A starting point for sewing, lingerie DIY and altering thrifted pieces.
Open tool →Encode or decode Base64 for text and files directly in your browser with local processing.
Open tool →Estimate voltage drop with NEC-style data, estimated wire resistance, or custom impedance values.
Open tool →Enter any two of V, I, R, and P to solve the remaining electrical values instantly.
Open tool →DIY rewards two habits — patience and planning. The patience part you bring yourself. The planning part is exactly what these tools do for you.
Most DIY budgets blow up at the checkout, not the workbench. Run every estimate through a calculator before you load the cart — it costs nothing to double-check and saves a trip back to the hardware store.
Tile breaks. Concrete spills. Wood splits at the wrong knot. Every pro adds 5 – 15 % to material counts on purpose. Our calculators bake in a sane waste margin so your first build still ends with finished edges.
A bag of concrete in the US is not the same as one in Australia. Wood thickness in millimetres reads differently in inches. A 30-second conversion check beats redoing a whole panel because the math drifted halfway through.
These tools exist so you spend your weekend cutting, mixing and finishing — not on a spreadsheet. Bookmark the page, plug numbers in as you go, and keep your attention on the part of DIY that actually feels good: building the thing.
