Formula & assumptions

How the fence cost calculator works

Panels = fence length ÷ panel width. Posts = panels + 1. Total = panels × panel price + posts × post price + gates + labor.

For a better estimate

Corners and multiple fence runs can require additional posts.
Hardware, concrete, removal and difficult terrain may add cost.
Use installed contractor rates for a professional estimate or material prices for a DIY comparison.

How many fence posts do I need?+

For one straight run of full-width panels, the basic estimate is the number of panels plus one. Corners and gate layouts can add posts.
