This calculator offers a straightforward way to compare the lifetime costs of carpet versus hardwood flooring based on how long you plan to stay in your home. It helpfully factors in the reality that carpet will likely need replacing during a longer stay, while hardwood is typically a one-and-done investment. Keep in mind that the math doesn't account for inflation on future carpet replacements or ongoing maintenance costs like professional cleaning or wood refinishing, but it provides a solid baseline for your flooring budget.
