Methodology
Transparent calculation
BuildMeter converts every input to a consistent internal unit, applies the selected allowance, and rounds products up to whole purchasable units.
Base cost = window units + installation labor + perimeter trim + removal and disposal + fixed allowances. Contingency is applied to the subtotal.

FAQ
Window Installation Cost Calculator questions
Does this distinguish insert and full-frame replacement?+
No. Use rates that match the selected installation method; full-frame work often requires more trim and opening repair.
Why calculate trim from perimeter?+
Interior and exterior casing or finishing typically follows the window perimeter rather than its area.
Are custom window sizes supported?+
Use the average dimensions and average unit price for a preliminary mixed-window estimate, or calculate groups separately.
