Curtain fabric quantity calculator

Use our handy curtain fabric calculator to help you work out how much fabric to order for your curtains. It works for all of the heading types we offer, and it makes the right allowances for pattern repeat, fullness, headings and hems.

Enter your measurements and curtain details below and the calculator will tell you the amount of fabric required.

Enter the required finished length from curtain top to hem. The calculator adds an allowance of 30cm (12in) per drop for hems and headings. See our measuring guide for more information on how to measure.
