How to Use This Calculator
- Measure your room — Get the length and width. For multiple rooms, calculate each separately and add them up.
- Choose flooring type — SPC is the most popular for 2026. It's waterproof and handles dents better than standard LVP.
- Select installation method — Click-lock is DIY-friendly. Glue-down is more stable but needs a pro.
- Rate your subfloor — Be honest here. Poor subfloor prep is the #1 cause of LVP problems.
- Add extras if needed — Underlayment, baseboards, old floor removal. These add up fast.
How We Calculate
Total Cost = (Material × Area × Waste) + (Labor × Area) + Extras
Example Calculation:
- • Room: 15 ft × 20 ft = 300 sq ft
- • SPC flooring: $3-7/sq ft material
- • Click-lock install: $2-4/sq ft labor
- • 10% waste: 300 × 1.1 = 330 sq ft material
- • Total: $1,590 - $3,630 (material + labor, no extras)
