This tool calculates the total cost of installing astroturf based on your specified area size and material choices.
How to Use the Astroturf Cost Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the cost of installing astroturf in a designated area. To use the calculator, fill in the following inputs:
- Length and Width of the area in meters.
- Cost per square meter for the astroturf.

How the Calculator Works
The calculator computes the area based on the inputted length and width. A waste factor is applied to determine the total area to be purchased and installed, which considers the extra material needed for trimming and fitting. The cost is then calculated by summing the product of this adjusted area with both the material cost per square meter and the installation fee per square meter.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator provides an estimate based on the parameters entered. Actual costs can vary due to other factors such as regional price variations, additional accessories, or unforeseen installation challenges.
