1. What is Home Depot Glass Cutting Service?

Home Depot offers glass cutting services where you can get glass cut to your exact size specifications. The price is calculated based on the area of glass needed (length × width) multiplied by their rate per square inch.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Length \) — Length of glass in inches
• \( Width \) — Width of glass in inches
• \( Rate \) — Home Depot's price per square inch (typically $0.25/in²)

Explanation: The equation calculates the total area of glass needed and multiplies it by the per-square-inch rate to determine the total cost.

3. Importance of Accurate Measurements

Details: Precise measurements ensure you get the correct size of glass and an accurate price estimate. Measure your frame or opening carefully before ordering.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter length and width in inches, and the current rate (default is $0.25/in²). All values must be positive numbers.
