How Much Does Vinyl Plank Flooring Cost?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) typically costs about $3 to $11 per square foot installed for rigid-core planks in 2026 (Inch Calculator), with labor often around $2–$9 per sq ft depending on prep and region (HomeGnome).
LVP cost by room
| Room | Flooring to buy (+10%) | Typical installed cost ($3–$11/sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| 10×10 | 110 sq ft | $300–$1,100 |
| 12×12 | 158 sq ft | $432–$1,584 |
| 12×16 | 211 sq ft | $576–$2,112 |
| 15×20 | 330 sq ft | $900–$3,300 |
| 20×24 | 528 sq ft | $1,440–$5,280 |
What adds to the cost
- Removing old flooring — carpet, tile or glued vinyl.
- Subfloor leveling: click-lock planks need a flat floor; self-leveler and patching add cost.
- Trim: baseboard or quarter-round and transition strips.
- Underlayment if the planks don't have one attached.
Why buy extra?
Plan on about 10% extra for cuts, more for rooms with many corners. Keep a spare box: the same color may not be available years later. The flooring calculator converts your room into boxes and, with your price per square foot, into a material cost.
