How the calculator works

CoatBid takes your floor area and the published coverage rate for each coat (square feet per gallon), applies a waste factor, and rounds up to whole purchase units — because you can't buy a third of a kit. Flake is converted from pounds-per-square-foot at your chosen broadcast density into whole boxes.

These defaults are seeded from typical manufacturer ranges. Coverage varies by product, profile, and temperature — always verify against your product's technical data sheet (TDS) before ordering.

Garage floor coating calculator — FAQ

How much epoxy do I need for a garage floor?

It depends on the coating's coverage rate (square feet per gallon) and how many coats. A 100%-solids epoxy base covers roughly 80–120 sq ft/gal per coat; a typical 2-car (~400–576 sq ft) garage needs about 4–6 gallons of base plus primer and topcoat. This calculator does the exact math and rounds up to whole kits.

How much flake do I need?

Flake is broadcast by the pound per square foot at your chosen density — light, medium, full, or double. A full broadcast runs roughly 0.25–0.5 lb/sq ft, so a 480 sq ft floor needs about 120–240 lb. The calculator converts your area and density into whole boxes.

Does the calculator show the price of the job?

The free calculator gives you the material takeoff (quantities and labor hours), not a customer price. Pricing, margin, and a branded, e-signable proposal are in the full CoatBid app.

Where do the coverage rates come from?

They're seeded from typical published manufacturer ranges. Coverage varies by product, surface profile, and temperature — always verify against your product's technical data sheet (TDS) before ordering.
