Countertop Material Needed
Countertop area is calculated by multiplying the total counter length by the depth (front to back).
Formula:
Total Area = Sum of (each section length × depth)
Standard countertop depth: 25.5 inches (65 cm) including a 1.5-inch overhang.
Countertop material costs (per sq ft):
- Laminate: $10–40
- Butcher block: $40–100
- Granite: $50–200
- Quartz: $50–150
- Marble: $75–250
- Soapstone: $70–120
Add extra for:
- Backsplash (if same material): 4 inches (10 cm) high × counter length
- Edge profiles: No extra material needed, but add $5–30/linear foot for fabrication
- Waste/cuts: Add 10–15% for seams, cutouts (sink, cooktop), and waste
Tip: Measure each straight section separately, then add them together. Don’t forget island countertops.
