Baseboard Calculator
Estimate baseboard linear feet and sticks to buy.
How the baseboard calculator works
Baseboard covers the room perimeter minus door openings (~3 ft each). Add 10% for cut waste and divide by stick length.
Frequently asked questions
How is baseboard sold?
Typically in 8, 12, or 16 ft sticks. Longer sticks reduce joints on long walls but ship poorly.
Do I subtract windows?
No — baseboard runs under windows. Only subtract doorways and openings that reach the floor.
