Tips: Enter the total cost in USD and the area in square metres. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: Why calculate cost per square metre?
A: It standardizes cost comparison across different sized properties or materials, making value assessment more objective.
Q2: What's a good cost per square metre?
A: This varies greatly by location, material type, and quality. Always compare with local market rates for similar properties/materials.
Q3: Can I use other currency units?
A: Yes, as long as you're consistent with your currency unit for both input and interpretation of results.
Q4: Does this include all costs?
A: Only if your "Total Cost" input includes all relevant costs. You may need to add additional expenses like taxes or installation.
