Underlayment calculator.
Estimate underlay packs by effective area or rolls from room width and your specified seam overlap.
Your inputs

Formula and assumptions
How this calculation works.
Pack mode uses supplied usable coverage. Roll mode lays strips along the room length, deducts your specified overlap at each side seam and permits end-to-end joins. Whole rolls are ordered; cutting and join locations are not optimised. Unlike the floor-covering tool, this estimates the separate underlay layer and its seams.
