Enter the total amount of the carpet install and the total area into the calculator to determine the carpet install cost per square foot.

Carpet Install Cost Per Square Foot Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the Carpet Install Cost Per Square Foot.

CIC = TIC / TCA

• Where CIC is the carpet install cost per square foot ($/ft^2) • TIC is the total cost of the carpet install ($)
• TCA is the total area of the carpet (ft^2)

To calculate the carpet install cost per square foot, divide the cost of the install by the carpet area.

What is the Average Carpet Install Cost Per Square Foot?

The average cost to install carpet is between $8 and$20 per square foot.

Many factors can affect the carpet installation cost for your home or business. These include the type of carpet you choose, how much carpet you need, and whether you do any prep work yourself. In addition, the pattern of your carpet will influence the price you pay.

First and foremost, the size of your home will impact the price per square foot. The larger your home, the more carpet you’ll need to buy, which means more money spent on materials.

Of course, a larger home also takes professional carpet installation crews longer to complete the job. You may even require two installation teams to complete the job promptly.

Additionally, suppose your home is oddly shaped or has tight corners. In that case, this can also affect the cost of labor because it requires more time to prepare and install your new carpet professionally.

For instance, installing carpet over stairs will add to the overall cost because it requires additional time and materials.

Also, your geographic location will substantially impact how much you spend on carpet installation labor.
