How this calculator works
Add the area of each room, using feet + inches ÷ 12 for each dimension. Material quantity = area × (1 + waste percentage). Material cost uses the waste-adjusted area; labor and removal use measured floor area. Round actual purchases to your product’s box coverage.
Use current quotes, local rates, and measured dimensions to make this estimate useful for your situation.
