Understand the result
How this calculation works
Installed gutter cost is length multiplied by a low and high installation rate, with optional scoped additions.
Steps
- Enter linear feet.
- Keep the reference basis selected for the dated national range, or choose user rates and enter both rates.
- Add removal or disposal only when separately quoted.
The May 2026 reference basis starts selected with rates of $10.41 and $15.77 per linear foot. The example length is 64 ft, with removal and disposal set to zero. Switching to user rates clears both rate fields.
Formula
total range = length × (installation rate + optional removal rate + optional disposal rate).
Variables and units
Length: linear feet. Low/high installation, removal and disposal rates: dollars per linear foot. Price basis: dated reference or user-provided rates.
What the result means
The reference is a dated national range, not a ZIP-level quote; tax, permits and overhead are excluded.
Worked example
Inputs: Length = 64; Removal = 0; Disposal = 0; Price basis = May 2026 national reference; Low = 10.41; High = 15.77.
Calculation: 64 ft × $10.41 = $666.24 low; 64 ft × $15.77 = $1,009.28 high before optional additions.
Result: $666–$1009.
User rates with separate additions
Inputs: Length = 12.5; Price basis = User-provided installation rates; Low = 10; High = 12; Removal = 2; Disposal = 0.5.
Calculation: Choose user rates. For 12.5 ft at $10–$12 per foot, base cost is $125–$150. Removal at $2 and disposal at $0.50 add $31.25. Total is $156.25–$181.25, displayed as $156–$181.
Result: $156–$181.
