Calculate Lineal Metres
Typical: 0-10%
How it Works
Lineal Metres = Area ÷ Board Width. Area = Lineal Metres × Board Width. We convert board width to metres, perform the calculation, and apply an optional waste factor.
Inputs Explained
- Calculation Mode: Choose direction (lineal metres from area or area from lineal metres).
- Area & Board Width: Enter area and board width.
- Lineal Metres & Board Width: Enter lineal metres and board width.
- Waste Factor: Optional; add 0-10% for cuts and waste.
Example
Area 20 m², Board Width 150 mm (0.15 m):
Lineal Metres = 20 ÷ 0.15 = 133.33 m
Lineal Metres 133.33 m, Board Width 150 mm (0.15 m):
Area = 133.33 × 0.15 = 20 m²

Tips & Notes
- Add a waste factor (0–10%) for cuts and waste.
- Board width should be the actual finished width after planing.
- Use the preset buttons for common project sizes.
FAQs
Divide the total square metres by the board width in metres. The calculator does this automatically.
Common widths are 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, 250 mm. Use your project's actual width.
