Woodworking & Building Calculators

Count boards, studs, joists, posts and pickets. Convert between linear feet, board feet and finished project size.

Convert lumber dimensions into board feet and total cost — the unit hardwood is sold in.

Work out how many boards you need for a run, plus linear feet, board feet and total cost.

Calculate deck boards, joists, screws and cost for any deck size, by board width and spacing.

Calculate posts, rails, pickets and concrete for a wood fence of any length.

Work out post count, hole depth and exactly how much concrete each fence post needs.

Full wall framing material list: studs, plates, headers, blocking and sheathing.

Count studs for a wall at 12, 16 or 24 inch spacing, and see where each one lands.

Count floor or deck joists for a given span and spacing, plus rim joists, blocking and hangers.

Estimate the load a beam carries, its tributary width, and the built-up beam material you need.

Calculate risers, treads, stringer length and total run from your total rise.
