How We Calculate This

This calculator estimates skylight costs based on type, size, glazing and quantity.

The formula

Total = (Unit Price × Size Factor × Glazing Multiplier × Qty) + Kerb Kits + Installation

  • Base prices vary by skylight type
  • Size factor increases for units over 1 m²
  • Triple glazing adds ~35% to unit cost
  • Daylight gain = Area × 3 (vs vertical glazing)
