Material Grade Gap Calculator
What this tool does
Select a material type (cabinets, flooring, or countertops), enter your room size, and see side-by-side pricing for stock, mid-grade, and premium options. The calculator shows the total cost at each grade and the dollar gap between what a stock-priced estimate pays versus what your actual materials cost.
Who needs this
Contractors who need to document grade gaps for supplements. If the property has dovetail-drawer cabinets but the estimate prices stock, this tool quantifies the difference. Use it for cabinets, flooring (laminate vs. solid hardwood), and countertops (Level 1 vs. Level 3+ granite).
How to use it
Pick the material type that applies to your claim. Enter the size of the affected area (linear feet for cabinets, square feet for flooring and countertops). Compare the three grade levels to what you actually have in your home. The gap between stock and your grade is money that should be in your estimate.
