When you hear “per square foot,” does your brain hurt slightly? You’re not alone! Let’s break it down for you. Think of a square that’s 1 foot by 1 foot—that’s one square foot. Flooring is priced this way to match how much material you’ll need for your space.

Example:
If your room is 10 feet by 10 feet, that’s:
10 ft × 10 ft = 100 square feet
If the flooring costs $5 per square foot:
100 sq ft × $5 = $500 (materials only)

Most stores recommend ordering about 10% extra to account for cuts and waste. So for 100 sq ft, you’d likely order 110 sq ft.

Average Room Sizes:

Bathroom Floor Sizes:
Small (powder room): 15–30 sq ft
Standard full: 40–70 sq ft
 Master bath: 80–120+ sq ft

Main Floor Areas:
Small home/condo: 600–900 sq ft
Average home: 1,000–1,500 sq ft
Large home: 1,600–2,500+ sq ft

Quick Cost Examples:
60 sq ft bathroom floor with $10/sq ft tile = $600
1,200 sq ft main floor with $11/sq ft hardwood = $13,200
(Installation and extras like underlayment are additional, these are strictly budgetary figures)

✅Pro Tip:
Not sure how big your rooms are? Grab a tape measure!

👉Length (ft) × Width (ft) = Square Feet
