How to Use This Calculator

Enter your house length and width for a simple perimeter calculation. Select the gutter style — K-style is the most common for residential. Set the number of downspouts, inside corners, and outside corners for your specific layout.

Understanding Your Results

The recommended downspout count is based on one per 25 feet of gutter. Hangers spaced every 3 feet provide standard support — use 2-foot spacing in areas with heavy snow. Cost estimates include all components and basic installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much gutter do I need?

Measure the total length of all eaves where you want gutters installed. Most homes install gutters on all eave edges. Add up all sides to get total linear feet.

How many downspouts do I need?

One downspout per 20-30 linear feet of gutter is standard. Each downspout handles about 600 sq ft of roof area. Place downspouts at corners and avoid runs longer than 40 feet without a downspout.

How far apart should gutter hangers be?

Gutter hangers should be spaced every 3 feet (36 inches) in most climates. In areas with heavy snow or ice, space them every 2 feet for extra support.
