Kilograms of Paint to Gallons Calculator
Paint density depends on formulation, pigment loading, and whether the product is water-based or oil-based.
Use the technical data sheet for best accuracy.

Paint is a classic case where density must stay editable because products vary so much.
Paint formula
US gallons = kilograms ÷ density in kg/L ÷ 3.785411784. UK gallons = kilograms ÷ density in kg/L ÷ 4.54609.

Results are estimates. Density varies with product and conditions. Use the official technical or safety data sheet where accuracy matters.
Paint FAQs
Does latex paint differ from oil-based paint?
Yes, quite a bit.
Can primer have different density?
Yes.
Should I use the TDS?
Yes, when accuracy matters.
Does pigment loading matter?
Yes.
Is this a coverage calculator?
No, only volume from mass.
