Calculate the number of studs needed for a wall section based on stud spacing and the wall-length measured in feet and inches.

The most common stud spacing with wall framing is 16", 19.2" and 24" on center.

A straightforward calculation, convert the wall length in feet to wall length in inches, divide this amount by the on-centre stud spacing, and add one more stud.

Example calculation

wall length = 24 feet 10 inches stud framing = 16 inches O.C. Convert the wall length to inches; 24 * 12 = 288 + 10 = 298 24 feet 10 inches converted to inches = 298 inches. Divide 298 inches by the stud spacing of 16 inches and add one more to the result to get the stud count; 298 / 16 = 18.625 rounded to 19 plus one = 20 It will take 20 studs to frame this will with 16 inches on centers, stud placement.
