Price per square foot formula
Price per square foot equals total price ÷ total area in square feet. It is a convenient way to normalize costs for flooring, construction, property or materials.
Compare the same scope
Two prices are only comparable when they cover similar inclusions. Labor, demolition, delivery, finishing, taxes and waste allowance can make a quoted unit rate look lower or higher.
Estimate total cost from a unit rate
If you already know the price per square foot, multiply it by the project area. For materials that need cutting or pattern matching, add an appropriate waste percentage separately.
