Floor Leveling Compound Calculator

Level uneven surfaces before laying tiles or decks. Know bags, mixing water, and waste buffer. Print results, share lists, and pour with confidence today.

Calculator Inputs
Add one or more areas, then calculate totals.
Sections convert to meters internally.
Depth converts to millimeters for coverage.
Covers mixing losses and uneven absorption.
Typical self-leveling compound ranges 1.4–1.8.
Used to round up bags to purchase.
Leave zero to skip cost estimate.
Check your product label for water range.
Rough time to mix, pour, and rake one bag.

Areas to Level
Add sections for patios, sheds, or slab zones.
Tip: 1 mm over 1 m² equals 1 liter.
Section Length Width Avg Depth Remove
After calculating, use the download buttons in results.
Formula Used

Area A = L × W (converted to meters)

Volume V(L) = A(m²) × Depth(mm) because 1 mm × 1 m² = 1 liter

Compound (base) Kg_base = A × Depth × Rate, where Rate is kg per m² per mm

Waste Kg_total = Kg_base × (1 + Waste%/100)

Bags Bags = ceil(Kg_total / BagKg)

Water Water(L) = Kg_total × (L per kg)

Adjust rate, bag weight, and water to match your product label.
How to Use This Calculator
  1. Measure each uneven zone and add it as a section.
  2. Estimate average depth using a straightedge and shims.
  3. Confirm your product’s coverage rate and bag weight.
  4. Set a waste allowance for mixing and surface porosity.
  5. Press Calculate to see totals above the form.
  6. Download CSV or PDF from the results panel.
Example Data Table
Example Section Length Width Depth Area (m²) Compound (kg)
Garden Shed 3.0 m 2.0 m 5 mm 6.00 48.00
Patio Corner 2.5 m 1.6 m 3 mm 4.00 19.20
Walkway Patch 1.8 m 1.2 m 8 mm 2.16 27.65
Assumptions Rate 1.6 kg/m²/mm, before waste and rounding.
Example figures demonstrate how sections roll up into totals.
