OK - I went over my new plaster with one coat of cheaper white normal
Dulux
as I was painting the ceiling at the same time and the white "regular"
Dulux is cheaper than the Endurance. Doing that should get better coverage
with the Endurance coats.

Now - I bought a 5l tin and did 2 coats of endurance over about 35m2 of
walls and have under a litre left. And I'm heavy handed with paint - that
was rollered on BTW.

So I make that *about* the same (15m2/l) as they give on the paint
calculator. Odd as I usually halve the claimed coverage rate. Dulux must
be
one of the more honest sellers?..

Anyway, if you don't prep the plaster with a coat of cheap white, it might
take a little more but the calculator seems about right.

Thanks Tim

Had to go out and buy the stuff before seeing your response, but it looks
like I am getting an average of 12m2 per litre over the two coats.
I have bought 7.5 litres so may end up with a slight shortfall on the 50m2
area. As one of the spaces is a corridor-type-landing, shade variations
from additional tins shouldn't be an issue.
