Why is a Stud Layout Calculator Used?

This calculator is used in construction and woodworking to plan the layout of wall studs, ensuring that they are evenly spaced and aligned according to building codes and project requirements.

How to Use a Stud Layout Calculator:

1. Input the width of the wall in inches.
2. Input the desired spacing between studs in inches.
3. Click the "Calculate" button.
4. The calculator will provide the number of studs needed and their positions from the starting point.

Example Calculation:

Suppose you have a wall with a width of 96 inches, and you want to space the studs 16 inches apart.

Enter these values into the calculator, click "Calculate," and it will estimate that you need 6 studs spaced at 16 inches each. The stud positions are 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, and 96 inches from the starting point.
