On a tabletop, countertop, or bar top, resin cost per square foot comes from coat thickness and the price per gallon. Epoxy garage and basement floors are priced differently, by coverage rate and labor, and have their own cost calculator.
Default dimensions, allowances and prices are example inputs. Replace them with your measurements and product label. Leave unknown product limits blank.

Use the estimate to narrow the resin class first. Then confirm product limits, cure behavior, and measurement assumptions before you make a buying decision.
Direct Answer
At the common 1/8 in flood-coat thickness, one gallon of mixed resin covers about 12.8 sq ft, so material costs roughly $4.68 per sq ft at $60 per gallon and $9.35 per sq ft at $120 per gallon. A 1/16 in coat costs half as much. Edges, a seal coat, and waste come on top.
Takeaways
| Price per gallon (mixed) | 1/16 in coat | 1/8 in coat |
|---|---|---|
| $60 | $2.34 / sq ft | $4.68 / sq ft |
| $90 | $3.51 / sq ft | $7.01 / sq ft |
| $120 | $4.68 / sq ft | $9.35 / sq ft |
Top surface only, before waste. One gallon covers about 25.7 sq ft at 1/16 in and 12.8 sq ft at 1/8 in.
Garage and basement floors are bought by coverage rate and coat count, and most of a professional bill is prep and labor.
Installed price for garage and basement floors: $4–$10 per sq ft for professional epoxy, with DIY, flake, metallic, and polyaspartic compared.
The interactive estimate below uses your own area, product price and either wet thickness or label coverage. Its primary result is cost per ft² or m² and the result panel also gives total mixed quantity and total budget. Additional cost per area is optional and comes from you; it is not an estimate of local installer labor.
FAQ
No. Tables and countertops are priced from thickness and the resin's price per gallon. Floors use coating coverage rates, coat counts, and labor, which is why professional floors run about $4–$10 per sq ft installed.
Because resin is sold by volume. Cost per square foot is a comparison metric once quantity and price are known.
No. This page covers resin material only. For floors, the epoxy garage floor cost calculator includes labor and prep.
