Parking Lot Striping Calculator
Estimate striping linear feet, paint, and a preliminary budget from stall counts and markings. Use it to scope a restripe before you request bids.
Count markings, convert to linear feet
Striping quantity is really a linear-feet problem. Each stall, arrow, crosswalk bar, ADA access aisle, and curb run becomes a length of paint. The tool converts your counts to linear feet, adds the ADA hatching and lettering that stalls require, multiplies by coats, and estimates paint gallons and a rough crew-day and budget range so you can scope the work before bidding.
What it covers
- Standard stalls in single or double line style.
- ADA and van stalls with access aisle hatching allowance.
- Arrows, crosswalks, fire-lane curb, and coats.
Limitations
This is a planning estimate, not a layout design or a bid. ADA stall counts, access aisles, signage, and slopes require site-specific review. Budget ranges use 2026 Bay Area rates and move with lot condition, layout complexity, and paint type.
Striping questions
How do I estimate parking lot striping?
Count the stalls and markings, convert each to linear feet of paint, and total them. This tool adds arrows, crosswalks, curb, and ADA hatching, then estimates paint and a budget range.
How much paint does striping use?
A 4-inch line commonly covers a few hundred linear feet per gallon depending on paint type, width, and coats. Set the coverage rate to match your product.
