Fence Cost Calculator

This fence cost calculator estimates installed cost by length and material; see our fence installation guide to compare fence types. Fences are priced per linear foot installed. Pick a material and enter the length; defaults reflect typical national pricing (wood $15–$35, chain link $12.25–$40 and vinyl $17–$38 per linear foot). Add gates and removal of an existing fence if they apply.

How to use the fence cost calculator

Measure the total fence run.
Choose a material.
Add gates and their cost if known, and removal of an old fence.
Override the rate with local quotes.

Formula

Cost = length × installed cost per linear foot + gates × gate cost + length × removal cost.

Worked example

150 ft of wood fence at $15–$35 per ft: $2,250–$5,250 before gates.

Tips for using the fence cost calculator

Count gates separately; each one adds hardware, posts and labor.
Removal and hauling of an old fence is often extra on quotes.
Rocky soil, slopes and permits can push costs above the typical range.
Ask whether quotes include post concrete, hardware, permits and hauling, and check who handles the property survey; comparing line items avoids surprises on the final invoice. Neighbors sometimes share the cost of a boundary fence, so it is worth talking before you sign a contract.
