Understanding the Calculation

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate carpet removal costs:

Total Cost = (Area × Carpet Thickness × $2.5/cubic foot) + (Area × Labor Rate) + Waste Disposal Fee

Where:
• Area is calculated as Room Length × Room Width in square feet
• Carpet Thickness is converted from inches to feet by dividing by 12
• The material cost factor is based on $2.5 per cubic foot of carpet material to be removed

Factors Affecting Carpet Removal Costs

  • Room Size: Larger areas require more labor and materials for removal.
  • Carpet Thickness: Thicker carpets create more waste and take longer to remove.
  • Labor Rates: Costs vary by geographic location and contractor rates.
  • Disposal Fees: Some areas charge additional fees for proper disposal of old carpet.
  • Accessibility: Harder-to-reach areas (like stairs or high ceilings) increase labor costs.
