Siding Calculation Formula

Total Area = (Length × Height) × (1 + Waste%)

Total Cost = (Area × Material Cost) + (Hours × Labor Rate)

Calculate the area including waste, then multiply by material cost per square foot. Add labor costs based on estimated time. Panels needed = Total Width / Panel Width.
