Calculate a selected mirror-width range and remaining vertical space from measurements and percentages you enter.
Inputs and method
Each width endpoint is vanity width × entered percentage. The selected bottom edge is faucet-top height + entered clearance; remaining space is ceiling height − selected bottom edge.
All empirical factors, rates, percentages, clearances, product yields, and model values shown as inputs are scenario values supplied by you. Their source or measurement basis appears beside the inputs and result. Units remain visible, calculations use unrounded values, and rounding occurs only for display or a whole-package ceiling.
Interpreting the result
This worksheet does not provide width percentages, clearances, fit approval, mounting advice, or code/safety conclusions.
Treat scenario ranges as sensitivity ranges, not confidence intervals. Check the factor’s version, geography, population or product, system boundary, and date before using the result. A finite arithmetic result does not establish code compliance, certification, safety, forecast accuracy, or model validity.
Validation and rounding
Blank required factors, invalid numbers, prohibited negatives, impossible relationships, and unsupported modes do not produce a result. No malformed value silently selects another branch. Continuous outputs use the precision displayed in the result; package quantities round up only after waste is applied.
Worked example
For a 60 in vanity, 70%–90% gives 42.00–54.00 in. A 36 in faucet top plus 4 in clearance places the bottom at 40.00 in and leaves 56.00 in below a 96 in ceiling.
Frequently asked question
Does this select a compliant mirror? No. It only applies entered percentages and clearance to measurements; verify product, mounting, and code requirements. For the surrounding bathroom project, measure the room with the square footage calculator, estimate wall coverage with the paint calculator, and plan tiling with the tile calculator.
