Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate the 'Per Square Foot' rate of a house?
Divide the total price of the property by its total super built-up area. For example: ₹50 Lakh / 1000 sq ft = ₹5,000 per sq ft.
What is the difference between 'Carpet Area' and 'Super Built-up Area' rate?
The Per-Sqft rate is usually quoted on the Super Built-up area. Since Carpet Area is smaller, the *effective* rate for the space you actually live in will be higher.
Does the rate include parking and amenities?
Usually, the base rate excludes 'Additional Charges' like PLC (Preferential Location Charges), parking, and club membership. Always ask for the 'All-inclusive' rate.
What is a good per-sqft rate in my city?
Rates vary wildly from ₹3,000 in smaller towns to ₹50,000+ in prime Mumbai or Delhi areas. Check recent 'Circle Rates' to understand the local floor price.
How can I compare two different sized apartments?
Calculating the Per-Sqft rate is the only fair way to compare a 1200 sq ft flat and a 1500 sq ft flat to see which one offers better value for money.
Does the floor level affect the per-sqft rate?
Yes. Many high-rise apartments have a 'Floor Rise' charge (e.g., ₹50 extra per sq ft for every floor you go up).
Can I use this tool to calculate construction costs?
Yes. If you know your total budget and the area of your plot, you can find the per-sqft construction cost you can afford.
What are 'PLC' charges?
Preferential Location Charges are extra costs per sq ft for plots that are corner-facing, park-facing, or on a wider road.
Does the per-sqft rate include GST?
Usually, quoted rates are 'plus taxes'. Under-construction properties attract 1% (affordable) or 5% (luxury) GST, which adds to your per-sqft cost.
How accurate is the 'Area' provided by builders?
Under RERA, builders must disclose the 'Carpet Area'. Always use the Carpet Area for your final value-for-money calculations.
