Calculation Steps

Step 1: Measure the project area in square feet.

Step 2: Select the tile material and note its cost range.

Step 3: Add the fixed costs for labor, additional materials, equipment rental, and optionally floor removal.

Step 4: Calculate the total cost and cost per square foot.

Formula: $$\text{Total Cost} = (\text{Tile Cost} + \text{Labor Cost } + \text{Materials Cost}) \times \text{Area} + \text{Equipment Rental Cost} + (\text{Removal Cost} \times \text{Area})$$

Formula: $$\text{Cost per Square Foot} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Area}}$$

Example

Let's say you have a tile flooring area of 100 sq ft, using ceramic or porcelain tiles, with fixed costs for labor, materials, equipment rental, and optionally floor removal.

Step 1: Calculate the total cost range:

$$\text{Total Cost Min} = (1 + 8 + 1) \times 100 + 25 = 925$$

$$\text{Total Cost Max} = (12 + 13 + 2) \times 100 + 50 = 2,750$$

If including floor removal:

$$\text{Total Cost Min} = (1 + 8 + 1 + 4) \times 100 + 25 = 1,325$$

$$\text{Total Cost Max} = (12 + 13 + 2 + 9) \times 100 + 50 = 3,650$$

Step 2: Calculate the cost per square foot:

$$\text{Cost per Square Foot Min} = \frac{925}{100} = 9.25$$

$$\text{Cost per Square Foot Max} = \frac{2,750}{100} = 27.50$$

If including floor removal:

$$\text{Cost per Square Foot Min} = \frac{1,325}{100} = 13.25$$

$$\text{Cost per Square Foot Max} = \frac{3,650}{100} = 36.50$$

So, the total cost range is $925 - $2,750 (or $1,325 - $3,650 with removal), and the cost per square foot range is $9.25 - $27.50 (or $13.25 - $36.50 with removal).
