How much pex for inslab heat.

!,200 sq ft house, hope to put in the floor next season. Will be 2 inch concrete, planning 2 0r three loops,
1 living room,
2 2nd bdroom, bathrm, & utility rm
3 master bed.
May combine 2 & 3 since they are adjacent and take up about 1/2 the house.
House is pretty well insulated & about 1/2 bermed on 3 sides in Zone 4.5
Plan on using 1/2 pex. May use outside wood boiler, or nat gas hot water heater for heat.
1000 feet of pex is not that pricey so am wondering what experience there is here to indicate total requirement for 1.200 sf.
Any links to sites that will calc it, would be appreciated.
