Example: 100 sq ft ÷ 30 per pack → buy 4 whole packs (0% extra).
Method & limits

Area and coverage must use the selected area unit. Required area = area × (1 + allowance ÷ 100). Units = required area ÷ coverage, rounded UP using unrounded values; material cost = whole units × price. Displayed area rounds to 2 decimals. Enter your own allowance, including 0. No depth, compaction, delivery or taxes are inferred; use the soil-volume tool for volume.
