The drywall calculator alternatively called the sheetrock calculator is a handy tool for determining how many drywall sheets you need to cover the walls and the ceiling of your room.

Calculate how many drywall sheets you will need by dividing the total square footage of area by 32 if you re using 4 by 8 sheets or by 48 if you re using 4 by 12 sheets. This division will get you the numbers of full sheets required.
