About Drywall Planner
Drywall Planner is a free drywall calculator that works out how many 4x8, 4x10 or 4x12 sheets a room needs, then shows a sheet-by-sheet layout that reuses offcuts. It also estimates joint compound, tape, screws and labor cost by US state, so DIYers and contractors can plan a job before buying materials.
Drywall Planner helps homeowners, DIYers and contractors plan drywall jobs accurately. Enter your room size, ceiling height, and door and window openings, and it calculates the exact number of sheets for 4x8, 4x10 and 4x12 boards, with a visual sheet-by-sheet layout that reuses offcuts to cut waste. It also estimates joint compound, tape, screws and corner bead, and gives drywall labor costs by US state using BLS wage data. Guides cover garage fire-code drywall (Type X), 9 ft walls, ceiling boards and drywall weight by thickness. Every calculator is free, works on mobile, and needs no sign-up.
