How do I use this calculator?

Enter sheet width, sheet height, paper grammage, sheets. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

mass=width × height /10⁶ × grammage × count.. Grammage is supplied; moisture, ink, coating variation and packaging are excluded.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?
