How It Calculates the Results
The calculator determines the total cost by calculating the volume of the basement, the base material cost, and then adding any additional costs you input:

- Base Material Cost: Volume × Cost per Cubic Foot
- Reinforcement Cost: Base Material Cost × (Reinforcement Cost / 100)
- Total Cost: Base Material Cost + Excavation Cost + Reinforcement Cost + Miscellaneous Cost
