Hardwood Flooring Calculator – Formulas

Simple Calculator Formula

Base Calculation Components

  • Primary Formula:
    • Total Square Feet = Base Square Feet × Room Size Factor × Flooring Complexity Factor
  • Base Square Feet:
    • Starting point: 200 sq ft
    • Provides fundamental area estimation baseline
  • Room Size Factors:
    • Small Room (up to 100 sq ft): 1.0 multiplier
    • Medium Room (100-250 sq ft): 1.5 multiplier
    • Large Room (250-500 sq ft): 2.0 multiplier
  • Flooring Complexity Factors:
    • Simple Layout: 1.0 multiplier
    • Average Complexity: 1.5 multiplier
    • Complex Layout: 2.0 multiplier

Calculation Example

Total Square Feet = 200 sq ft × (Room Size Factor) × (Flooring Complexity Factor)

      • Irregular Room Shape: +0.10
      • Underfloor Heating: +0.05

Calculation Example

Total Square Feet = (Length × Width) × 
                    Wood Type Factor × 
                    Layout Complexity × 
                    (1.15 + Additional Complexity Modifiers) × 
                    (Plank Size / 48)

Material and Installation Cost Calculation

  • Material Rates per Square Foot:
    • USD: $8.00
