How to Use This Painting Estimate Calculator

Getting a reliable painting estimate has never been easier. Follow these three steps to calculate the cost of your next painting project:

1. Choose Interior or Exterior

Start by selecting whether your project is inside or outside the home. Interior estimates let you add multiple rooms for a whole-house quote. Exterior estimates cover siding, stucco, brick, trim, decks, fences, and more.

2. Set Quality and Condition

Select your paint quality tier (economy, standard, or premium) and the current surface condition. These factors significantly impact both material cost and prep time, giving you a more accurate estimate.

3. Add Your Rooms or Surfaces

For interior jobs, enter each room's dimensions: length, width, and ceiling height. The calculator works out wall and ceiling area automatically. For exterior, enter measurements for each surface and stack them into one combined estimate. Hit "Get My Estimate" to see a low-to-high price range with full breakdown.

These ranges include paint, primer, materials, and labor. Use the calculator above to get a more tailored estimate for your specific room.

How to Estimate a Painting Job Like a Pro
