Blown-In Insulation Bag Calculator

Estimate the number of insulation bags needed for an attic area at a target R-value.

Formula and method

This calculator uses the values you enter and applies the calculation immediately in your browser. The main output formulas are:

  • Bags needed (approx.): Math.ceil((atticAreaSqft*targetRValue)/bagCoverageSqftPerRValue)

Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations, such as division by zero, equal x-values in a slope calculation, or logarithms of non-positive numbers. In those cases the live tool reports that the result is undefined instead of displaying Infinity or NaN.

Examples

  • Example: with Attic area = 1200 ft², Bag coverage at R-1 (sq ft) = 100 ft², Target R-value = 38, this calculator returns Bags needed (approx.) = 456 bags.
