Cost Per Linear Foot Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the cost per linear foot (CPLF) is:

\[ CPLF = \frac{C}{L} \]

Where:

$ CPLF $ is the cost per linear foot ($/ft)
$ C $ is the total cost ($)
$ L $ is the length (ft)

What is Cost Per Linear Foot?

A cost per linear foot is a metric used in business and construction to describe the cost per unit length. The unit length being feet in this case. Cost per linear foot is often used when describing things like fences or materials.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Cost ($ C $): $500
Length ($ L $): 100 ft

Step 1: Calculate the cost per linear foot:

\[ CPLF = \frac{500}{100} = 5 \text{ dollars per ft} \]

Therefore, the cost per linear foot is $5 per ft.
