Paint Job Estimate Calculator

Calculate paint, labor, costs, and quotes offline with clear editable math.

Paint Job Estimate Calculator helps you build a clear painting estimate from your own measurements, paint coverage, material prices, and labor rates. Calculate first—no account, setup wall, or internet connection required.

See the assumptions behind every total. Enter the paintable area, doors and windows, finish and primer coats, coverage per gallon, waste allowance, paint price, production rate, and labor price. The app calculates the paint quantity, rounds up to whole gallons to buy, separates materials from labor, and shows each adjustment in order.

Built for independent painters, estimators, property managers, and capable DIY homeowners:

• Paint quantity calculator: Estimate finish paint and primer from area, coats, coverage, and waste.
• Labor estimate: Price by hourly production or by square foot using editable rates.
• Transparent breakdown: Review paint, materials, labor, travel, overhead, profit, discount, and tax.
• Saved projects: Keep client, address, scope, notes, and a stable calculation snapshot on your device.
• Reusable rate templates: Start repeat interior, exterior, or touch-up work from your preferred assumptions.
• Professional sharing: Send a basic text estimate free, or unlock branded PDF and CSV export with Pro.
• Local-first privacy: No ads, analytics, account, cloud sync, or developer-operated data collection.
• Draft recovery: Your current estimate is restored if you switch apps or return later.
• Light and dark themes: Use the appearance that works best on site or at your desk.

The calculator includes editable example rates so you can understand the workflow immediately. Replace them with your own labor costs, paint prices, taxes, overhead, and profit before sending a quote. Every result is a planning estimate based on your inputs—not a guaranteed bid or live local market price.

The free version includes unlimited calculations and edits, basic text sharing, up to three saved projects, and one rate template. A single lifetime Pro purchase unlocks unlimited projects and templates, business identity and logo, polished PDF estimates, CSV and batch export, and validated local backup and restore.
