Enter the length, height, cost per square foot, base, and price per foot into the calculator to determine the Retaining Wall Price.

Retaining Wall Price Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the price of a retaining wall.

RWP = (L * H * C) + (B * P)

Variables:

  • RWP is the Retaining Wall Price ($)
  • L is the length of the wall (feet)
  • H is the height of the wall (feet)
  • C is the cost per square foot of the wall material ($)
  • B is the base of the wall (feet)
  • P is the price per foot of the base material ($)

To calculate the Retaining Wall Price, multiply the length of the wall by the height of the wall, then multiply the result by the cost per square foot of the wall material. Then, multiply the base of the wall by the price per foot of the base material. Add the two results together to get the total price of the retaining wall.

What is a Retaining Wall Price?

A retaining wall price refers to the cost associated with the construction or installation of a retaining wall. This price can vary greatly depending on several factors such as the size and height of the wall, the materials used (concrete, stone, wood, etc.), the complexity of the design, labor costs, and any additional features like drainage systems or stairs. It may also include the cost of obtaining necessary permits or professional engineering services if required.

How to Calculate Retaining Wall Price?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Retaining Wall Price.


  1. First, determine the length of the wall (L) in feet.
  2. Next, determine the height of the wall (H) in feet.
  3. Next, determine the cost per square foot of the wall material (C) in dollars.
  4. Next, determine the base of the wall (B) in feet.
  5. Finally, determine the price per foot of the base material (P) in dollars.
  6. After gathering all the variables, use the formula RWP = (L * H * C) + (B * P) to calculate the Retaining Wall Price.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Length of the wall (L) = 10 feet

Height of the wall (H) = 8 feet

Cost per square foot of the wall material (C) = $20

Base of the wall (B) = 6 feet

Price per foot of the base material (P) = $15
