Gutter Calculator

Plan a gutter installation: total run, sections to cut, downspout count from your spacing rule, hidden hangers, miters, end caps and sealant. All spacing rules are configurable.

Calculation breakdown

  1. 1Sections: ⌈42.67 ÷ 3.05⌉ = 15
  2. 2Downspouts: ⌈42.67 ÷ 12.19⌉ = 4
  3. 3Hangers: ⌈42.67 ÷ 0.61⌉ = 71
  • Gutters must slope ~1/4 in per 10 ft toward the downspout — plan drop points accordingly.

Sections = ⌈Run ÷ Section length⌉ · Downspouts = ⌈Run ÷ spacing⌉.

Hangers = ⌈Run ÷ hanger spacing⌉ · Miters = corners × 2 · Sealant ≈ 1 tube per 10 fittings.
