The calculator applies installed-rate assumptions per material and multiplies by your square footage and edge style. Cutouts add fabrication time, removal adds demolition and haul-off, and backsplash bands add tile or slab work. A regional multiplier adjusts for typical labor and material differences across U.S. markets.
Surface cost ≈ sq ft × material rate × edge factor × region+ cutouts + backsplash + removalResults are budgeting aids—not quotes. Fabricators may price seams, travel, and sink plumbing separately.
Islands, corners, and overhangs affect yield and waste
