Formula and assumptions

How the calculator works

Posts = Ceiling(Linear Feet / Post Spacing) + 1 Material Cost = Linear Feet × Material Rate Labor Cost = Linear Feet × Labor Rate Suggested Price = Total Cost / (1 - Target Margin)

Common mistakes this catches

  • Forgetting terminal/corner posts and gates.
  • Using one labor rate for flat, sloped, rocky, and obstructed sites.
  • Leaving old fence removal, haul-off, staining, permits, and utility marking out of the estimate.
