Formula
The formula for calculating the wallpaper cost (WC) is:

Where:
- WC is the total wallpaper cost.
- A is the wall area in square feet.
- CPSF is the cost per square foot of the wallpaper.
How to Use
- Measure the wall area in square feet that you want to cover with wallpaper.
- Enter the area into the “Wall Area” field.
- Enter the cost per square foot of the wallpaper.
- Click “Calculate” to see the estimated wallpaper cost.
Example
If you have a wall area of 200 square feet and the wallpaper costs $2 per square foot, you would calculate the cost as follows:
WC = 200 * 2 = $400
The total wallpapering cost would be $400.
