How to Use This Calculator
1. Select joint dimensions. Choose the joint width and depth from the dropdowns. Most interior trim joints are 1/4" wide by 1/4" deep.
2. Enter total linear feet. Measure all joints that need caulking and add them up.
3. Choose your cartridge size. Standard 10 oz cartridges fit any caulk gun. 25 oz sausage packs need a bulk gun but offer better value on large jobs.
4. Set your cost and rate. The calculator shows material cost plus labor to determine customer pricing.
