Board Foot Calculator+

Stop fighting decimals at the lumber yard.

BoardCalc is a board foot calculator built the way woodworkers actually
measure — in feet, inches, and fractions, straight off a tape measure. Type
5' 3-1/4" the way you'd say it out loud. No ads. No subscription. Pay once,
own it forever.

WHY BOARDCALC

- Fraction input that doesn't break. Long values, awkward fractions,
two- and three-digit inches — it just works, unlike the calculators that
cut off your input mid-typing.
- Built on lumber-industry convention: thickness in quarters (4/4, 5/4, 6/4...),
the way rough lumber is actually sold.
- Every result live as you type: board feet, total cost, cost with waste
factored in.

FREE

- Board foot calculator with quarters or inches thickness, fraction-precise
width and length, quantity, price per board foot, waste %.
- Tape-measure fraction calculator — add, subtract, multiply, divide lengths
like 7' 6-3/8" - 2' 11-15/16", answered in both feet-inches-fraction and
decimal inches.
- One active project — save calculator results as a running lumber list,
share it as text.
