This free siding calculator works out how much siding a house takes, from its length, width and wall height, gables included.
It takes off the windows and doors, adds extra for cuts, and counts the boxes.
I built it because the gables are easy to forget, and they're where a siding order comes up short.
Here's the formula, a worked example, and the mistakes to avoid.
TL;DRKey takeaways
What is a siding calculator?
A siding calculator turns a house's size into the siding to buy.
It counts the walls and the gables, and gives the total in square feet and squares of 100 square feet.
How siding is worked out
The walls make a band around the house. Each gable is a triangle on a short side.
A worked example
Here's the example the calculator loads: a 50 by 30 foot house, 9-foot walls, 2 gables 6 feet high, 200 square feet of windows and doors, 10% extra, and boxes of 200 square feet.
2 × (50 + 30) × 9 = 1,440 square feet of wall. The gables add 2 × 30 × 6 ÷ 2 = 180. Less 200, that's 1,420. With 10% extra, 1,562 square feet, or 8 boxes.
Mistakes to avoid
These are the slips that come up most.
- Leaving out the gables
- Taking off windows and doors twice
- Ordering exactly the wall area, with nothing for cuts
Who is the siding calculator for?
It's for anyone residing a house or pricing a quote, and these tools help around it.
- Roofing calculator – for the roof above
- Paint calculator – for painting instead
- Square footage calculator – for any area
Count the gables, and the last wall won't come up short.
