Countertop Calculator
Enter your counter run length and depth to estimate how much laminate, quartz, granite, or butcher block you need.
Countertop dimensions (meters)
Stone slabs (granite, quartz) need a bigger buffer for seams and vein/pattern matching. This is a rough estimate — get a precise quote from your fabricator after template measurement.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate square footage for a countertop?
Multiply the total run length by the standard depth (usually 0.6 m / 24 in for kitchen counters) to get the area. For an L-shaped or U-shaped kitchen, measure each run separately and add the areas together.
How much extra material should I order for a stone countertop?
Granite and quartz typically need a 15-20% buffer for seams and vein or pattern matching across slabs. Laminate and butcher block need less, usually around 10%, since they come in continuous sheets or boards.
Is this calculator accurate enough to order material?
This gives a solid budgeting estimate, but stone fabricators always template your kitchen in person before cutting — slab yield, seam placement, and edge profile all affect the final material order. Use this number to shop and compare quotes, not as a final cut list.
