Epoxy Calculator
Estimate epoxy resin volume in gallons, ounces, and liters for rectangular or circular surfaces at any coating thickness.
What Is an Epoxy Calculator?
An epoxy calculator estimates how much epoxy resin you need to coat a table, floor, countertop, or art piece. Enter surface dimensions and coating thickness to get volume in gallons, fluid ounces, and liters, plus the epoxy and hardener split for a standard 2:1 mix ratio.
Epoxy Volume Formulas
For a rectangular surface:
$$ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{thickness} $$
For a circular surface:
$$ V = \pi \times r^2 \times \text{thickness} $$
Convert cubic inches to US gallons by dividing by 231. For fluid ounces, divide by 1.80469. Epoxy mixes at a 2:1 ratio (two parts resin to one part hardener by volume).

Frequently Asked Questions
How much epoxy for a 4x8 table at 1 inch thick?
Volume = 96 in × 48 in × 1 in = 4,608 in³. That equals about 19.95 gallons of mixed epoxy. Split into roughly 13.3 gallons resin and 6.65 gallons hardener at a 2:1 ratio.
What is the standard epoxy mix ratio?
Most tabletop and floor epoxies mix at 2:1 by volume (two parts resin to one part hardener). Always confirm the ratio on your product label before mixing.
How do I convert cubic inches to gallons?
Divide cubic inches by 231 to get US liquid gallons. For example, 4,608 in³ ÷ 231 = 19.95 gallons.
How thick should an epoxy table coating be?
Bar tops and tables typically use 1/8 to 1/4 inch (0.125 to 0.25 in) for a seal coat, with flood coats up to 1/8 inch each. River tables and deep pours may use thicker pours with specialized deep-pour epoxy.
Should I order extra epoxy?
Yes. Order 10 to 15% extra to account for overflow, uneven surfaces, and mixing waste. Uneven tabletops and edge drips consume more resin than a flat calculation suggests.
