A painting estimate, built the way a painter quotes.
This free painting estimate calculator walks a job the way you would walk it on site: room by room, wall and ceiling areas, doors and windows, skirtings and architraves, then the prep and the access. It prices each part the way a working painter would and folds it into one figure you can read at a glance. Interior and exterior both.
It is built for two people. The painter who wants a fast, defensible ballpark before writing a formal quote, and the homeowner who wants a sane number before the calls start. Your job saves in the browser as you go, so you can step away and pick it back up. In a hurry, Quick Estimate adds a room or a wall and returns a figure on one screen. Every number here is a guide estimate to plan around, not a fixed quote: a real price still needs eyes on the job.
Common questions
Is this a real painting quote?
No, and it does not pretend to be. It gives you a guide estimate to plan around: close enough to budget with, quick enough to get before you commit. A firm quote still needs a painter to see the actual surfaces, the access, and the state of the prep.
How does it work out the price?
It prices each part of the job the way a painter does: wall and ceiling areas by the square metre and the number of coats, then doors, windows, skirtings and trim as their own line items, with the prep and the access on top. Change an input and the figure moves with it, so you can see what a second coat or a harder access adds.
Does it cover interior and exterior work?
Yes. Interior walls, ceilings, doors, frames, windows, skirtings and architraves, plus exterior trim and surfaces. Add only the parts your job actually has; anything you leave out stays out of the figure.
Who is it for?
Painters who want a quick, defensible ballpark before they write a formal quote, and homeowners who want an honest number before the calls start. Same tool, same maths, either way.
What is Quick Estimate mode?
Instead of the full room-by-room walkthrough, Quick Estimate lets you add a room or a wall, punch in the numbers, and read a price band on one screen. When you want the detailed version, the full walkthrough is one tap away and your figures carry over.
Does it save my progress?
Yes. Your job is kept in your own browser as you work, so you can leave the page and come back to it later. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to email yourself the summary at the end.
