This carpet calculator converts a rectangular room to square yards and adds the waste percent you enter. The cost line makes it a carpet cost calculator at your price per yard. Square-foot goods, including a vinyl calculator path, use the other unit.
Square yards to order
22.00sq yd
Planning estimate from the numbers you enter. Coverage, density, waste and price are assumptions, not a supplier quote or an engineering specification.
How it works
Room area is length times width. Divide by 9 for square yards. Waste multiplies that quantity. Ten percent is the starting waste for a simple room. Seams, stairs, and a pattern match often need more, so the field is editable. Cost is the order quantity times the price you type. Pad, tack strip, and labor are not in the price. The vinyl setting skips the yard conversion and prices the square feet after waste. It is the same area math with a different selling unit.
Formula
Square-foot orders skip the division by 9. A carpet cost calculator total is order yards times your price per square yard. Vinyl cost is order square feet times your price per square foot.
Example
The room is 180 square feet, or 20.00 square yards before waste. The order is 22.00 square yards. At $30 per square yard the material is $660.00. Stairs and closets are extra area.
Tips
Add closets and halls as their own rectangles, then add waste once if you are buying them together. A patterned carpet can need more waste than 10 percent. The vinyl calculator setting is for sheet or tile sold by the square foot, not for carpet by the yard.
Equipment
Flooring businesses sometimes finance the equipment used to install it. Dengaro's range is $15,000 to $2 million. The yardage is not sent as the financed amount.
Important questions
Switch to square foot and enter that price. Or multiply the price per square foot by 9 and stay on square yards. Do not do both.
The selling unit. Area and waste stay the same. The headline is square feet, and the price is per square foot.
No. Stairs are additional carpet, usually more than their horizontal footprint because of the risers. Measure them separately. The 10 percent is only the field you entered.
No. The cost is the carpet or vinyl quantity times the unit price you typed.
