Insulation Calculator – Calculates how much insulation material is need...

The Insulation Calculator calculates how much insulation material is needed to reach a target R-value. This Insulation Calculator helps you calculate the exact quantity of materials needed for your project, saving you from costly over-ordering or frustrating under-ordering. Add a 5–10% waste factor to any result before purchasing.

The formula behind this calculator: Compares required R-value for the climate zone to the R-value per inch of the chosen material. As a practical example: Reaching R-38 in an attic with R-3.2-per-inch insulation requires about 12 inches of material. All results are calculated instantly in your browser — no data is stored or transmitted.
