Livin’s Price Calculator | Know Your Interior Budget Before You Call Us
Livin Interiors Price Calculatior
Planning home interiors usually starts with a moodboard and ends with a million “how much will this cost?” messages. Livin’s price calculator flips that script. It lets you build a quick, realistic estimate for your home by room, by component, by finish so you know your ballpark budget before you even speak to a designer. It’s fully customizable, simple to use, and designed for Indian homes, markets, and materials.
Why an interior cost calculator matters
An estimate isn’t just a number; it’s a decision-making tool. When you can see how choices affect price in real time- laminate versus acrylic shutters, plywood versus HDF, soft-close hardware grades, LED cove lighting versus track lights, you immediately understand where to splurge, where to save, and what to phase. The calculator removes guesswork, makes conversations faster, and helps families align on priorities early.
What the calculator does
Livin’s calculator converts your selections into an itemized rough cost. You pick the scope, finishes, sizes, and add-ons; it applies current market rates for your city, calculates by the right unit of measure (running feet for kitchens, square feet for wardrobes and wall cladding, square footage for paint and false ceiling, per-point for electrical), and shows a clean subtotal with taxes and optional site services. Because it’s modular, you can estimate a single kitchen today and add wardrobes next week without losing work.
How it works, step by step
Start by choosing your home type and city. City selection matters because material, logistics, and skilled labour rates vary across India. Next, add rooms and components. In a kitchen, you’ll enter the length of base and wall units, island size if any, and pick your shutter finish, carcass material, hardware grade, handles or gola, countertop, backsplash type, and essential accessories like cutlery trays and corner systems. For wardrobes, you’ll select height, width, finish, internal layout, mirrors or fluted glass, and accessories such as drawers, pull-out trays, and shoe racks. You can add TV units, study tables, vanities, crockery units, false ceiling areas, painting scope, electrical points, and basic plumbing items. Each choice instantly updates the estimate so you can compare options without redoing the math.
What you can customize
The calculator is built around real choices homeowners make every day. You can toggle finishes, grades, and mechanisms, and see the effect immediately.
| Component | You choose | Measured in | What influences price most |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modular kitchen | Finish, carcass, hardware, accessories, countertop, backsplash | Running feet and sq ft | Shutter finish, hardware grade, stone choice |
| Wardrobes | Height, width, finish, internals, mirrors, loft | Square feet (elevation) | Finish type, internal accessories, glass/mirror |
| TV unit and storage | Length, shutters, open shelves, lighting | Running feet | Finish, glass/metal accents, LEDs |
| Study and work desks | Length, shutters/drawers, pinboards | Running feet | Material grade, hardware |
| Crockery/vanity units | Length, shutters, glass, lighting | Running feet | Glass type, internal lighting |
| False ceiling | Area, profile design, cove/spotlights | Square feet | Profile complexity, light count |
| Painting | Wall and ceiling area, paint type | Square feet | Paint grade, surface prep |
| Electrical | Number of points, type (fan, light, socket) | Per point | Fixture type, conduit runs |
| Appliances and sinks | Model tiers, finish | Each | Feature set, finish, brand tier |
What makes the estimate credible
It uses current rate cards aligned to your city bracket, applies the right unit conversions for Indian homes, and includes a sensible wastage and fittings buffer in the background so you aren’t under-budgeting on consumables, screws, profiles, adhesives, tapes, and sealants. Where choices impact structure like moving from standard hinges to premium soft-close, or from laminate to acrylic, it recalculates correctly across the bill of quantities instead of tacking a flat surcharge.
A quick sample walk-through
Imagine a two-bedroom apartment in Bangalore. You add an L-shaped modular kitchen at 14 running feet of base units and 10 running feet of wall units in laminate with soft-close hardware, quartz countertop and a simple subway tile backsplash. You add two wardrobes, each 7 feet high by 5 feet wide in laminate with a mixed internal layout of hanging, shelves, and drawers. You include a six-foot TV unit, 350 square feet of false ceiling with cove and a few spotlights, repaint the home in a washable emulsion, and add 18 electrical points.
As you toggle finishes, the estimate updates instantly- moving to acrylic shutters bumps the kitchen and wardrobe lines; dropping quartz to granite trims the kitchen; reducing false ceiling area brings down both gypsum and lighting costs; swapping a few drawers for shelves tightens the wardrobe number. Within minutes you have a city-specific ballpark for your preferred combination, plus a sense of what to adjust if you need to push the total down or up.
Note: the figures you see inside the calculator are illustrative until a site visit confirms measurements, wall plumb, service points, and scope overlaps. Still, most families find their final proposal within the same band because the inputs are realistic.
What the calculator will not do
It won’t lock you into a package or force a finish. It won’t replace a designer’s eye for layout, ergonomics, or detailing. And it won’t quote on civil changes like wall demolition, window resizing, or new plumbing lines without a site check. Think of it as a planning compass, not a contract.
How to get the best out of it
Measure once, estimate twice. Use a simple tape to note lengths and heights; round to the nearest half-foot for a quick run and refine later. Keep your priorities handy: if your non-negotiables are a silent soft-close system and quartz, set those first and adjust secondary items like internal accessories or false ceiling area to meet budget. Build two or three scenarios—a value set, a balanced set, and a premium set—and compare totals with your family so everyone sees the trade-offs clearly. When you’re ready, share the estimate ID with our team; we’ll validate on site, optimise the layout, and lock a detailed quote.
Why homeowners love starting here
It’s transparent, fast, and empowering. You can explore without pressure, understand how each choice affects cost, and arrive at a meeting prepared. It also shortens the design timeline: when your must-haves and budget band are already clear, designers can spend time on space planning, proportions, and material samples instead of ballpark arithmetic.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price I see final? It’s a city-wise estimate based on your inputs. Final pricing follows site measurement, detailing, and a confirmed scope. How accurate is it? In typical projects, the calculator’s total and the final proposal usually land in the same neighbourhood because units and rates mirror real work. Can I save and edit later? Yes, you can revisit your estimate, tweak components, and track versions. What about warranties and service? Those are part of your final proposal; the calculator’s role is to plan costs, not terms.
