Introduction
Planning a kitchen or bathroom renovation often involves choosing the right countertops that fit your budget. Our Countertop Cost Calculator simplifies this process, providing you with a quick estimate of the cost of your countertop project.
Formula
The formula to calculate the cost of countertops is straightforward:

How to Use
Using our Countertop Cost Calculator is easy:
- Enter the length of your countertop in feet in the “Length” field.

- Specify the cost per square foot of the countertop material in the “Cost per Square Foot” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button.
The calculator will provide you with an estimated cost for your countertop project.
Example
Let’s say you want to install a countertop with a length of 6 feet and a width of 2.5 feet, and the cost per square foot of the chosen material is $40. Using our calculator:
Total Cost = 6 ft × 2.5 ft × $40/sq. ft = $600
So, the estimated cost for your countertop project would be $600.
