Formula and assumptions

How the calculator works

Material Sq Ft = Floor Area × (1 + Waste %) Material Cost = Material Sq Ft × Material Cost Per Sq Ft Labor Cost = Floor Area × Install Rate Suggested Price = Total Cost / (1 - Target Margin)

Common mistakes this catches

  • Buying exactly the measured square footage.
  • Forgetting removal, disposal, transitions, underlayment, stairs, and trim.
  • Using the same waste factor for every layout.
