Material cost calculator guide

Use this simple estimator to combine a material quantity, unit price, delivery charge and tax. Enter prices from your local supplier rather than relying on hard-coded market prices.

Material cost = quantity × unit price Tax = (material cost + delivery) × tax rate Estimated total = material cost + delivery + tax

Use the correct unit

Quantity and unit price must use the same unit. For example, use 5 cubic yards with a price of $45 per cubic yard, or 100 bags with a price of $6 per bag.
