Restroom & ADA Calculator.

Estimate portable units, ADA-accessible counts, and handwash stations from attendance, duration, and alcohol service. The accessible math follows the 2010 ADA Standards; the sizing table is honest about being a rule of thumb.

The base table assumes a 4-hour event; longer events scale up to 2x at 10+ hours.

No adjustment.

Alcohol

MODELED (rule of thumb): add 20 percent of units when alcohol is served.

Portable units
MODELED (rule of thumb): 1 unit per 100 attendees for a 4-hour event, scaled by duration, plus 20 percent for alcohol. The fixture-count methodology derives from IPC 403.1.
75
ADA-accessible units
DERIVED from 2010 ADA Standards section 213: at least 5 percent of units, minimum 1 per cluster. Distribute them across every cluster, not pooled at one gate.
4
Handwash stations
MODELED (rule of thumb): 1 station per 10 portable units, minimum 1. Health departments often set their own minimum where food is served.
8
Planning estimate only. Permit counts are set by the local health department and the AHJ, and permanent-venue fixture counts follow the adopted plumbing code (IPC 403.1 or local amendment). Confirm both before the order goes in.

From the XPMS compliance engine: the same rulebase that runs XMCE checks in LEG3ND. What is XPMS? Explore LEG3ND

How sanitation counts work.

Permanent venues size restrooms from the plumbing code: IPC 403.1 sets minimum fixture counts per occupant by occupancy type. Outdoor and temporary events do not get a single national table, so the industry converged on a sizing practice keyed to attendance, event length, and alcohol service, and your local health department turns that into a permit condition.

Accessibility is the part with hard numbers: the 2010 ADA Standards section 213 requires at least 5 percent of units to be accessible, with a minimum of 1, and the practical reading for events is at least 1 accessible unit in every cluster so nobody crosses the site to find one. Place them on firm, level routes and keep the doors clear of cable ramps.

Frequently asked questions

How is the restroom count calculated?
The base is the standard industry sizing table: about 1 portable unit per 100 attendees for a 4-hour event, scaled up to 2x for events running 10 or more hours, plus 20 percent when alcohol is served and 10 percent when the crowd skews majority women. The ADA-accessible count is 5 percent of total units with a minimum of 1 per cluster, per the 2010 ADA Standards section 213. Handwash stations run 1 per 10 units.
Is this code-compliant sanitation advice?
No. It is a planning aid, not engineering or AHJ advice. The permit count is set by your local health department and the authority having jurisdiction, and permanent-venue fixture counts follow the adopted plumbing code. Use this to size the rental order conversation, then confirm with the permitting authority.
Where do the numbers come from?
The accessible count is derived from the 2010 ADA Standards section 213 (5 percent of units, minimum 1 per cluster). The fixture-count methodology traces to IPC 403.1, the plumbing-code table for permanent occupancies. The portable-unit base table, the alcohol uplift, and the handwash ratio are industry rules of thumb and are labeled MODELED, matching how the XPMS compliance engine separates derived rules from modeled ones.
