All Calculators/Wall Framing Calculator

Wall Framing Calculator

Determine studs, plate lumber, and framing cost for any wall.

The wall framing calculator estimates studs, plates, and rough material for standard wood-framed walls. Choose your stud spacing and account for door and window openings to get an accurate count. Use it alongside your lumber quote to verify supplier pricing per linear foot.
  • 16-inch on-center spacing is code-minimum for load-bearing walls in most jurisdictions — confirm before using 24-inch spacing.
  • Buy studs in the next standard length up from your wall height; cutting down wastes less than splicing short.
  • Each door opening needs a king stud, jack stud, and cripples — factor that into your count before purchasing.
