PLYWOOD
Plywood and Board Quantity Calculator for Interiors
Estimate plywood and board sheets for interior joinery by thickness, with cutting layouts and edge banding.
Assumptions used EDIT ▾
Panels are placed on sheets in rows, largest first, and may be rotated. Grain direction, edge trimming of factory edges and reuse of offcuts are not considered, so check the layout before cutting. The area-only figure divides total panel area by sheet area and adds the wastage allowance.
SHEETS NEEDED

By layout. Area alone suggests at least 2 with 10% wastage.

- Total panel area2.17 m²
- 23.4 sq ft
- Edge banding (if every edge)Usually only visible edges are banded

Cutting layout
Numbers are panel sizes in mm. Check grain direction before cutting.

How it’s calculated
Panels grouped by thickness and laid out on sheets largest-first with a saw kerf.
Example: Wardrobe carcass in 18 mm and backs in 6 mm are counted as separate sheet groups.
