The Btu Calculator estimates the BTU heating or cooling capacity needed for a room. This Btu Calculator estimates the materials or values you need for common home projects. Always add a waste margin to material estimates before placing an order.

The formula behind this calculator: Commonly uses about 20 BTU per square foot as a baseline, adjusted for ceiling height and insulation. As a practical example: A 300 sq ft room needs roughly 6,000 BTU of cooling capacity. All results are calculated instantly in your browser — no data is stored or transmitted.
