FormulaInstalled baseboard length = 2*(length+width)-openings; Total length allowance = 2*(length+width)-openings+pieces*cut; Area-independent lower-bound board count = Math.ceil((2*(length+width)-openings+pieces*cut)/stock)

How to use this tool

  1. Enter room length, room width, combined untrimmed opening widths, planned trim pieces, extra length per piece, and stock length per board in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for baseboard room takeoff. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "length": 5,
  "width": 4,
  "openings": 1.8,
  "pieces": 8,
  "cut": 0.03,
  "stock": 2.4
}

Accuracy and scope

Board count is a length lower bound, not an optimized cut plan; wall runs, scarf joints and defects can require more stock.
