Air Compressor Size Calculator
Estimate the compressor CFM and PSI needed for common pneumatic tools.
Open calculator →Use these free calculators and size guides to match equipment specifications to the job. Estimate compressor capacity, extension cord gauge, pressure washer output, and shop vac size before you buy or set up equipment.
Estimate the compressor CFM and PSI needed for common pneumatic tools.
Open calculator →Estimate a suitable extension cord wire gauge from load and distance.
Open calculator →Match pressure washer PSI and GPM to the cleaning job.
Open calculator →Match wet/dry vacuum size and power to the cleanup job.
Open calculator →Use the air compressor calculator when a pneumatic tool has CFM and PSI requirements. Use the extension cord calculator when distance and electrical load affect wire size. For cleaning equipment, start with the pressure washer tool for outdoor washing jobs or the shop vac tool for wet and dry cleanup.
Equipment performance depends on more than a single headline rating. Airflow, pressure, electrical load, cord length, tank size, and cleanup volume can all change what is practical. Projectlyst helps narrow the starting range so you can verify the final choice against tool labels, manuals, and job conditions.
