How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the affected area (sqft) from the asbestos survey or inspection report.
  2. Select material type (floor tile, ceiling texture, pipe insulation, roofing, etc.).
  3. Set abatement ($), testing ($), and disposal ($) cost rates based on local contractor quotes.
  4. Review total cost broken down by abatement, testing, and disposal line items.
  5. Include air clearance testing costs and confirm all work requires licensed abatement contractors.

How the result changes with Affected Area (sqft)

What each input means

Affected Area (sqft)
Square footage of asbestos-containing material to be removed
Material Type
1 = Floor tile/mastic, 2 = Ceiling/popcorn texture, 3 = Pipe insulation, 4 = Siding/shingles
Material Condition
1 = Good/intact (may encapsulate), 2 = Damaged, 3 = Friable (crumbling, highest risk)

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Affected Area (sqft) = 500, Material Type = 1, Material Condition = 2 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Abatement Cost
    Abatement Cost
    5000 = $5,000
  3. Calculate Testing Cost
    Testing Cost
    1050 = $1,050
