HOW TO USE IT

How to use the Pool Cost Calculator

  1. 1

    Choose the pool type (0 = vinyl liner, 1 = fiberglass, 2 = concrete).

  2. 2

THE MATH

Pool cost formula

Total = area × price per sq ft + features

The price per sq ft varies by type: vinyl liner ~$65/sq ft, fiberglass ~$110, concrete ~$165. Features (heater, integrated spa) add 12-30%.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

A 40 × 20 ft fiberglass pool

800 sq ft at $110/sq ft = $88,000. With an integrated spa (+30%), the total reaches about $114,000.
