Calculate Countertop Cost in Dollars per Square Meter

This online calculator helps you estimate the total cost of a new countertop based on its dimensions and the price of the material per square meter. It provides a quick budget estimate, factoring in both material and an approximate cost for labor and supplies.

How to Calculate Countertop Cost

The calculation is performed in three steps:

1. Calculate the Total Area: First, the area of the countertop is determined in square meters by converting the length and width from centimeters.
2. Calculate the Material Cost: The total area is then multiplied by the price per square meter to find the cost of the material.
3. Estimate the Total Cost: An additional 30% is added to the material cost to account for labor, installation, and other supplies, giving the final estimated price.

The formula for the total cost is:

Area (m²) = (Length (cm) × Width (cm)) / 10000

Material Cost = Area (m²) × Price per m²

Total Cost = Material Cost × 1.30

Example Calculation

Let's estimate the cost for a countertop with the following parameters:

• Countertop Length: 300 cm
• Countertop Width: 65 cm
• Material Price: $350 per m²

Step-by-step calculation:

1. First, find the area:
   Area = (300 cm × 65 cm) / 10000 = 1.95 m²
2. Next, calculate the material cost:
   Material Cost = 1.95 m² × $350/m² = $682.50
3. Finally, calculate the total estimated cost including labor/supplies:
   Total Cost = $682.50 × 1.30 = $887.25
