Project details
Estimated cost
Planning estimate only. Actual contractor pricing varies by location, project complexity, material selection, permits, access and market conditions. Replace the sample rates with local quotes whenever possible.
Flooring cost formula
Add waste to the measured floor area, multiply by your flooring price, then add installation and other project costs.
Costs to consider
Underlayment, old-floor removal, subfloor repair, transitions, stairs, trim and furniture moving may be separate charges. Product waste also depends on room shape and installation pattern.
Flooring Cost Calculator FAQ
Should labor be charged on the waste area?
This calculator applies labor to the actual floor area and materials to the purchase area. Adjust the rates if your installer quotes differently.
How much waste should I use?
Simple rectangular rooms generally need less extra material than angled rooms or patterned layouts.
Does this include baseboards?
No. Add trim or baseboard costs under other costs if needed.
