Flooring Calculator

Measure room length x width to get square footage, then add 10-15% for waste (straight lay) or 15-20% (diagonal lay). For tile, add extra for cuts around edges and obstacles.

Laminate ($2-5/sqft) and luxury vinyl plank ($3-7/sqft) offer the best value for durability and appearance. Hardwood ($6-12/sqft) costs more but adds the most resale value. Carpet ($2-5/sqft) is cheapest but has the shortest lifespan.

Hardwood: 25-100+ years (can be refinished). Tile: 50-100 years. LVP: 15-25 years. Laminate: 15-25 years. Carpet: 5-15 years. Longevity depends heavily on traffic, maintenance, and quality.
