Italian calculation formula

Italian calculation in 5 steps:

• Step 1 - Italian floor surface: = Length * Width (sqm)
• Step 2 - Italian wall covering: = Perimeter * Italian covering height (1.5-2 m Italian bathroom, up to ceiling Italian kitchen). Subtract Italian doors (1.8 sqm) and windows (1.5-2.5 sqm).
• Step 3 - Italian waste: +10% standard format, +15% Italian large 120x120, +20% Italian diagonal or mosaic
• Step 4 - Italian material cost: sqm * cost €/sqm (Italian gres 20-150 €/sqm, Italian marble 80-300 €/sqm)
• Step 5 - Italian laying cost: sqm * 30-60 €/sqm (Italian tiler + glue + Italian grouting)

For Italian standard bathroom 6 sqm floor + 18 sqm covering = 24 sqm * 1.1 waste = 26.4 sqm bought. Italian cost: gres 30 €/sqm (792 €) + laying 45 €/sqm (1,188 €) = 1,980 € total. Italian 10% VAT in renovation: +198 €. Italian 50% deduction over 10 years if linked to Italian bathroom renovation.
