Price per 1000 Formula:
| From: | To: |
The Price per 1000 calculation is a standardized way to compare costs for plywood roofing materials by calculating the cost per 1000 square feet. This allows for easy comparison between different projects and material options.
The calculator uses the following equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation normalizes the cost to a standard 1000 square foot basis for easy comparison between different sized projects.
Details: Calculating price per 1000 square feet is crucial for accurate cost estimation, budgeting, and comparing material options for plywood roofing projects.
Tips: Enter total project cost in USD and total roof area in square feet. Both values must be greater than zero for accurate calculation.
Q1: Why calculate price per 1000 instead of price per square foot?
A: Price per 1000 provides a more intuitive number for larger projects and makes comparison between different projects easier.
Q2: Should I include labor costs in the total?
A: Yes, for complete project costing. For material-only comparisons, use just material costs.
Q3: How accurate should my area measurement be?
A: For estimates, approximate is fine. For precise costing, measure to within 1-2% accuracy.
Q4: Does this account for waste factor?
A: No, you should include waste in your total area calculation (typically add 10-15% for roofing projects).
Q5: Can I use this for other materials besides plywood?
A: Yes, this calculation method works for any roofing material where you want to compare costs on a standardized basis.
