The formula

Cost = area x (1 + waste) x material rate + area x (labor + prep) + removal

Rigid-core SPC planks tolerate uneven subfloors better than glue-down or thin click-lock vinyl, which is why prep costs drop as plank quality rises.

Frequently asked questions

How much does vinyl plank flooring cost installed?

LVP typically runs $5 to $10 per square foot installed in 2026, with rigid-core products at the top of that range.

They are close. LVP costs slightly more but is fully waterproof, which is why it dominates kitchens, baths and basements.
