This tool will help you calculate the total cost of vinyl flooring based on your room’s dimensions and material price.
How to Use the Vinyl Flooring Cost Calculator
1. Enter the width of the area to be covered in feet.
2. Enter the length of the area to be covered in feet.

How it Calculates the Cost:
The calculator estimates the total cost of installing vinyl flooring based on the area to be covered, the price per square foot, wastage percentage, and labor costs. The formula used is:
Total Area = Width x Length
Wastage Area = Total Area x Wastage Percentage / 100
Effective Area = Total Area + Wastage Area
Material Cost = Effective Area x Price per Square Foot
Labor Cost = Effective Area x Labor Cost per Square Foot
Total Cost = Material Cost + Labor Cost
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimate only. Actual costs may vary based on specific conditions, such as complexity of the job, additional materials needed, etc. Always consult with a professional for precise costing.
