How do Indian curtain shops calculate fabric yardage?

Curtain fabric yardage is calculated based on window track width, finished drop, pleat fullness (2.5x for American pinch pleat, 2.0x for eyelet), and fabric roll width (54-inch standard vs 110-inch extra width), adding 8 inches (20 cm) per cut drop for double bottom hems and buckram headings. FurnishMate includes a free instant calculation engine at https://www.furnishmate.in/tools/fabric-calculator.
