Deck Calculators

Deck cost, deck boards and floating decks — price the build and size the lumber, boards and hardware.

CalcBooth’s deck calculators take a deck from a size and a material to a budget and a materials list. The deck cost calculator prices a build by material — pressure-treated, cedar, composite or PVC — including railing and labor, so you know what a fair quote looks like before you call a contractor. The deck board calculator sizes the decking itself: how many boards, the lineal footage, the joists and the fasteners for your frame and board layout. The floating deck calculator handles ground-level decks built on precast deck blocks, working out blocks, joists, boards and the gravel base. Every tool shows the formula it uses and updates live, so you can compare materials and board sizes side by side. Deck figures are planning estimates — confirm quantities and pricing with your supplier or builder before you buy.
