Wallpaper Calculation Formula

Wall Area = 2 × (Length + Width) × Height

Calculate total wall area, subtract doors/windows, add wastage percentage, then divide by roll coverage area to determine number of rolls needed.

Rolls Needed = (Wall Area – Door/Window Area) × (1 + Wastage%) / Roll Coverage
