 This calculator is designed to give a valid representation of the carpet (or linoleum) quantity required, the cost of it (and related materials such as padding, tack strips, backing tape, etc.) and the cost of the labor involved for the project. If you are doing the labor yourself, enter a zero (0) as the labor cost. Room sizes should be in feet, rounded up to the next largest foot. Costs should be entered in dollars, a decimal and cents. Include the cost of padding, backing tape and other materials in the cost of the carpet on a per yard basis, or add the total manually after the calculation. Click the Calculate button for all fields to be calculated. Remember that sizes must be considered as approximate due to material texturing, patterns, carpet grain and mill run sizes. Much is dependent on the installer's ability to conserve material and the size of the room in relation to the size of the carpet rolls, especially in larger rooms or odd shaped rooms. |
