COST SNAPSHOT

Start with a range. Then price the actual job.

Bamboo flooring commonly runs about $7–$17 per sq. ft. installed.

FloorCalc planning data refreshed August 2026. See methodology and sources.

The number that matters is the total scope.

Product price alone can miss labor, tear-out, subfloor work, waste, stairs, transitions and finishing. FloorCalc exposes those items instead of burying them in one multiplier.

How much waste should I add?

Around 8–10% is a common planning allowance for straight layouts; complex shapes or patterns may require more.
