LVP Flooring Cost Calculator

Estimate the total cost to install Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring by grade, core type, and plank width — with order quantity and comparison against carpet and laminate.

LVP flooring cost overview

LVP flooring installation costs $3–$8 per square foot installed. Standard residential (12 mil wear layer) runs $3–$5/sq ft. Premium (20 mil) reaches $4–$7/sq ft. Wide-plank luxury (28 mil+) can hit $6–$9/sq ft installed.

LVP is 100% waterproof, DIY-friendly, and handles pets and heavy traffic with ease. It's the most popular flooring choice for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and whole-home renovations.

How It Works
