Wood Framing Stud Calculator

Whether you are framing a new house or a basement wall, our stud calculator tells you exactly how many 2x4 or 2x6 studs you need. It calculates vertical studs, top and bottom plates, and extra framing for corners.

16 vs 24 Inches On Center

The standard spacing for wall studs is 16 inches on center (O.C.), but some non-load-bearing walls use 24 inches O.C. to save material. Our tool lets you choose your spacing and instantly recalculates your lumber requirements.
