Questions

How much does a litre cover?

Typically 10–12 m² per coat for emulsion; the calculator lets you change it for the paint you're using.

Does it allow for doors and windows?

Yes — enter how many and it takes them off the wall area.

Should I add a bit extra?

It adds 10% for touch-ups by default.
