Home Renovation Cost Estimator
Home Renovation Cost Estimator calculates total cost, cost per sq ft, and material efficiency based on scope, size, and quality.
Formulas Used in Home Renovation Cost Estimator
The calculator uses the following formulas to estimate renovation costs:
Total Cost:
\\[ C_t = S \cdot A \cdot M_q \cdot M_r \\]Cost per Square Foot:
\\[ C_s = \frac{C_t}{A} = S \cdot M_q \cdot M_r \\]Material Efficiency:
\\[ E_m = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{1}{M_q \cdot M_r \cdot \sqrt{S / S_{\text{max}}}}, 100\right) \\]Where:
- \\( C_t \\): Total cost (USD)
- \\( S \\): Project scope (USD/sq ft)
- \\( A \\): Room size (sq ft)
- \\( M_q \\): Material quality multiplier (Standard: 1.0, Premium: 1.5, Luxury: 2.0)
- \\( M_r \\): Renovation type multiplier (Kitchen: 1.2, Bathroom: 1.5, Full Home: 1.0)
- \\( C_s \\): Cost per square foot (USD/sq ft)
- \\( E_m \\): Material efficiency (%)
- \\( S_{\text{max}} \\): Maximum reference scope (100 USD/sq ft)
Example Calculations
Example 1: Small Kitchen Renovation, Standard Materials
Input: Project Scope = 50 USD/sq ft, Room Size = 100 sq ft, Material Quality = Standard, Renovation Type = Kitchen
Result: Total Cost: 6000 USD, Cost per Square Foot: 60 USD/sq ft, Material Efficiency: 58.93%
Example 2: Medium Bathroom Renovation, Premium Materials
Input: Project Scope = 100 USD/sq ft, Room Size = 50 sq ft, Material Quality = Premium, Renovation Type = Bathroom
Result: Total Cost: 11250 USD, Cost per Square Foot: 225 USD/sq ft, Material Efficiency: 44.44%
Example 3: Large Full-Home Renovation, Luxury Materials
Input: Project Scope = 150 USD/sq ft, Room Size = 2000 sq ft, Material Quality = Luxury, Renovation Type = Full Home
Result: Total Cost: 600000 USD, Cost per Square Foot: 300 USD/sq ft, Material Efficiency: 40.82%
