Helping workshop owners make informed equipment decisions with free calculators and comprehensive guides.
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.
Our suite of calculators covers the essential systems every workshop needs:
Our 2026 Ultimate Guides provide in-depth information on workshop planning topics. Each guide is thoroughly researched and includes practical advice you can apply immediately.
When you use our calculators, you'll receive equipment recommendations matched to your calculated requirements. We research and verify current products to ensure our recommendations are relevant and available.
