How to Use This Calculator

Measure your floor area in square feet and estimate the average depth needed. Use a level or straight edge to determine low spots. The calculator provides bag count based on typical 50lb bags.

Why Accurate Floor Leveling Compound Matters

Self-leveling compound creates a flat surface essential for tile, vinyl, and laminate installations. Uneven floors cause cracking, poor adhesion, and premature failure. Getting the right amount ensures proper coverage without expensive waste.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Underestimating depth needed in low spots, not priming the substrate first, mixing too much at once (20-30 minute working time), and forgetting to account for irregular floor shapes.
