Cost Per Window Calculator

Formula

To calculate the cost per window:

\[ CPW = \frac{TCI}{W} \]

Where:

$ CPW $ is the cost per window (\$/window)
$ TCI $ is the total cost of installation and windows (\$)
$ W $ is the number of windows

What is the Average Cost Per Window?

You can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $900 for a new single-hung or double-hung wood window. There are many different factors that come into play when deciding on a price per window, such as the size, the type of window, and if you want a double or triple pane.

The actual price of the window will depend on many factors including:

The type and age of your current windows
Location (the further you are from a major city, the more it will cost to have your replacement windows installed)
Size and shape of the window (a custom-made window will be more expensive than standard stock sizes)
Style of the frame (vinyl sash replacement windows typically cost less than wood-clad frames)
The material used in the frame (aluminum is much less expensive than vinyl or wood)

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Cost of Installation and Windows $ TCI $ = $5000
Number of Windows $ W $ = 10

Step 1: Divide the overall cost by the number of windows:

\[ CPW = \frac{5000}{10} = 500 \text{ dollars per window} \]
