Use this foundation cost calculator to quickly estimate the expense of your building’s foundation based on relevant construction parameters.
Foundation Cost Calculator
Use this calculator to estimate the cost of laying the foundation for a new building. Simply enter the width and the length of the foundation in feet, as well as the cost per square foot, and click “Calculate”.
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter the width of the foundation in feet.
- Enter the length of the foundation in feet.
- Enter the cost per square foot for laying the foundation.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the total estimated cost.
How It Works
The calculator multiplies the width by the length to find the total square footage of the foundation. It then multiplies this number by the cost per square foot. The formula used is:
Total Cost = Width x Length x Cost per Square Foot
Limitations
- The calculator does not account for varying costs in different regions or potential discounts for larger projects.
- It assumes the cost per square foot does not change with the size of the foundation.
- The estimator does not include additional costs such as excavation, soil testing, or permit fees.
