Worktop and Countertop Area Calculator

Work out the square metres of worktop for your runs and island, how many slabs to order and the installed cost.

How this works

Area is length times depth for each run, minus the corner square counted twice, plus the island. We add 15% for cut-outs and waste, then divide by the slab size (about 4.2 m² for stone, 1.9 m² for a laminate or wood length). Installed prices per m² are 2026 mid-market averages.
