Drywall & Sheetrock Calculator

Drywall calculator and sheetrock calculator in one app that works offline. Enter a room and get the sheets, joint compound, tape, screws and corner bead it needs, plus the installed cost per square foot. Drywall Takeoff draws the wall layout to scale, counts it in purchase units and prices the job from your own rates.

New in 2.2: drywall installation cost by finish level (national price ranges), a wallpaper calculator and a stud wall calculator with the IRC code check. Share any result with one tap.

New in 2.1: cement board and shiplap calculators, every calculator remembers your last inputs, "Pick up where you left off" on Home, a New calculation button on every result, and Pro tools free for 24 hours with one short ad.

THE TAKEOFF
Add a room. It is drawn to scale as you type: sheet courses, staggered ends, the butt joints picked out, doors and windows cut in. Underneath it, the numbers a supply house understands — sheets by size, buckets of compound, rolls of tape, pounds of screws, sticks of bead, gallons of primer and paint. Add the next room and the job rolls up. Every room can be a different sheet size, thickness or finish level.

THE PRICE
The job is priced live from your own price book and your own hang and finish rates, with markup and tax, shown as a total, a range and a per-square-foot figure. Change a price and every estimate follows. Export the estimate as a PDF from the jobsite and send the shopping list to whoever is doing the run.

THE KEYPAD
Type 12' 6-1/2" the way you say it. Halves through sixteenths on their own keys; metric one tap away. Nothing is rounded behind your back.

SHOWS ITS WORKING
Every result explains its formula and the default behind it. Small openings are sheeted over, not deducted, because that is how crews hang board — and the app says so.

"Next coat is dry" and "follow up with the client" — set them yourself, nothing is scheduled for you.
