About WorkshopCalc

Helping workshop owners make informed equipment decisions with free calculators and comprehensive guides.

Our Mission

WorkshopCalc was created with a simple mission: help home workshop owners and professional tradespeople make informed decisions about their workspace equipment. We believe that proper planning and sizing of workshop systems—from dust collection to electrical to climate control—shouldn't require expensive consultants or guesswork.

Every calculator on this site is built on industry-standard formulas and real-world experience. We provide not just numbers, but explanations of why those numbers matter and what they mean for your specific situation.
