CONSTRUCTION CALCULATOR
Epoxy Flooring Cost Calculator
Estimate the cost of an epoxy floor by area, system type and surface preparation. The rates below are labelled tool presets for planning — they are illustrative, not a verified regional quote.
For quantity-only planning, use the Epoxy Calculator.
RESULTS
System cost: $2,400.00
Preparation cost: $0.00
Estimated total: $2,400.00
Cost per sq ft: $6.00
Epoxy gallons (estimate): 4.00 gallons
Epoxy gallons estimate = area ÷ 200 × 2 coats. This is an estimate only — check the product label for its coverage rate. Results update as you type or change a value. No form submission is used to recalculate.
How to use this calculator
Enter the floor area in square feet, choose a system type, and choose a surface preparation option. The tool updates the system cost, preparation cost, total, cost per square foot and epoxy gallons estimate as you type or change a value.
Worked example – checked against the tool
For a 500 sq ft floor with a Flake system at $9 per sq ft and moisture mitigation at $0.85 per sq ft: system cost = 500 × $9 = $4,500.00; preparation cost = 500 × $0.85 = $425.00; total = $4,925.00; cost per sq ft = $9.85; epoxy gallons estimate = 500 ÷ 200 × 2 = 5.00 gallons.

| 800 sq ft | Metallic ($13) | Diamond grinding ($1.25) | $10,400.00 | $1,000.00 | $11,400.00 | $14.25 | 8.00 |
| 1,000 sq ft | Solid ($6) | Moisture mitigation ($0.85) | $6,000.00 | $850.00 | $6,850.00 | $6.85 | 10.00 |
Frequently asked questions
What does epoxy flooring cost per square foot in this tool?
The tool presets are Solid $6, Flake $9, Quartz $11 and Metallic $13 per square foot, plus preparation if selected. These are labelled tool presets for planning, not a verified regional quote.
Which system type should I choose?
Solid is a plain, single-colour finish; Flake adds decorative chips; Quartz adds quartz aggregate for texture; Metallic creates a swirled, decorative finish. Choose the finish that matches the look and use of the floor, then compare the preset costs in the tool.
How does surface preparation change the total?
Preparation is charged per square foot in this tool: None $0, diamond grinding $1.25, or moisture mitigation $0.85. The preparation cost is area multiplied by the preparation rate, and it is added to the system cost.
How is the epoxy gallons estimate calculated?
Epoxy gallons estimate = area ÷ 200 × 2 coats. It is an estimate only. Check the product label for its coverage rate and for whether a primer or topcoat changes the amount needed.
Does this total include everything for an epoxy floor?
No. This is a planning estimate based only on area, the selected system preset and the selected preparation preset. It does not include subfloor repairs, crack repair, testing, or other site-specific work.
Can I use this tool for quantity-only planning?
For quantity-only planning, use the Epoxy Calculator, which focuses on epoxy quantity rather than cost.
Method note
Total = area × system rate + area × preparation rate. System cost = area × system rate. Preparation cost = area × preparation rate. Cost per square foot = total ÷ area. Epoxy gallons estimate = area ÷ 200 × 2 coats. All rates in this tool are labelled tool presets, illustrative and not a verified regional quote.
