Reading the table for a 8x10 space
Notice how the installed range widens as tiers climb: material choice, not labor, is what separates a $258 job from a $813 one on the same 80 sq ft floor plan. Labor for mid-range laminate lands near $160 nationally, plus or minus your state's rate. All rows include the 10% cut-waste pros actually order.

Does the price include installation?
Yes — every figure on this page includes materials with 10% waste plus professional installation labor at national-average rates. Old floor removal, subfloor repair, and stairs are extra.
How much does old floor removal add for this room?
Demolition and haul-away typically run $0.60–$1.50/sf — about $48–$120 for a 8x10 room, depending on what's coming out and local disposal fees.
How many square feet is a 8x10 room?
A 8x10 room is 80 square feet (8 × 10 = 80). Flooring installers order about 10% extra for cuts and waste, so plan on purchasing roughly 88 sq ft of material.
