Frequently asked questions
Start here for questions about our tools. Each calculator page has more detailed answers for that project.
Which calculators are available on CalHomeGo?
CalHomeGo has six calculators: concrete slab, paint, gravel, mulch, flooring, and square footage. Select a tool card above to open its dedicated page, where you will find the calculator, usage instructions, and questions specific to that tool.
Are the calculators free, and do I need an account?
The current calculators are free to use and do not require an account. Enter your measurements and click the Calculate button on the selected tool. The website does not currently offer saved projects.
Can I use metric and imperial measurements?
Yes. All six tools support metric and imperial measurements. The concrete calculator also lets you choose a separate unit for each dimension, including feet, inches, metres, centimetres, millimetres, and yards. The other calculators use a shared measurement system for their inputs. Changing units converts existing measurements.
Can I calculate material costs in USD, CAD, and Indian rupees?
Yes. Choose the currency of your supplier’s price and enter the local price in the unit requested by the tool. CalHomeGo does not automatically look up material prices. The separate Convert estimate to control can convert a calculated cost between USD, CAD, and INR using the latest available daily reference rate.
Are currency conversion rates live bank rates?
No. Optional conversion uses daily ECB reference rates provided through Frankfurter and displays the rate date. Rates may predate today on weekends or holidays, and they exclude bank fees and exchange spreads. Converting an estimate into another currency does not tell you what the material costs locally.
Can I order materials using only the calculator result?
Treat results as planning estimates, not final project specifications. Verify measurements, product coverage or yield, allowances, and supplier pack sizes before buying. Unless explicitly included, costs exclude taxes, delivery, labour, and other project charges. Structural safety and building requirements should be checked with a qualified local professional.
Are my measurements saved or sent to a server?
The calculator code processes measurements and results in your browser and does not save them to a CalHomeGo database. Optional currency conversion requests send currency codes, not your measurements or cost totals, to the rate provider. Hosting providers still receive normal connection information; see the Privacy Policy for details.

Measure twice. Plan with confidence.
Six practical tools, clear formulas, and editable assumptions. No signup required. Always check your supplier’s specifications before ordering.
Calculations run in your browser. Optional currency conversion contacts Frankfurter for rates; your measurements and cost amounts are not sent. Reference rates are not bank quotes.
