How the Calculation Works
The calculator multiplies the bathroom area by the cost per square foot for flooring, tiles, and paint, and adds these amounts to the total. It also multiplies the labor cost per hour by the estimated labor hours and adds it to the total cost. Finally, it adds any miscellaneous costs to give you the final estimated cost.
