This tool will help you calculate the total cost of building your deck based on the dimensions and materials you choose.
Deck Price Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the total cost of building a deck based on the length, width, material cost per square foot, and labor cost per square foot.
How to Use
- Enter the deck length in feet.
- Enter the deck width in feet.
- Enter the material cost per square foot in dollars.
- Enter the labor cost per square foot in dollars.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the total estimated cost.
How It Calculates
The calculator computes the deck area in square feet by multiplying the length by the width. It then computes the total cost by multiplying the area by the sum of the material cost per square foot and the labor cost per square foot. The formula used is:
Total Cost = Deck Area * (Material Cost Per Square Foot + Labor Cost Per Square Foot)
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate and should be used for preliminary planning purposes only. Actual costs can vary based on multiple factors including material choice, labor rates in your area, and additional features or complexities in your deck build.
