Home Addition Cost Calculator
Use this calculator to estimate the cost of your home addition project. Fill in the area, cost per square foot, number of stories, rooms, and bathrooms, then select the quality of materials and location adjustment factor. Click “Calculate” to see the estimated cost.
How It Works
The calculator takes into account the following parameters:
- Area: The total area of the addition in square feet.
- Cost per square foot: The average cost per square foot for construction in your area.
- Number of stories: The number of stories in the addition.
- Number of rooms: The total number of rooms in the addition.
- Number of bathrooms: The total number of bathrooms in the addition.
- Quality of materials: Choose between Standard, Premium, or Luxury materials which affect the overall cost.
- Location adjustment factor: Choose between Urban, Suburban, or Rural which reflect the cost variances based on location.
The total cost is calculated by considering the base cost (area * cost per square foot) and applying modifiers for stories, rooms, and bathrooms. Additional multipliers are applied based on the quality of materials and location adjustment factors.
