About this calculator

House cost in Nepal is driven by built-up area × all-in rate, then extras (septic, compound wall, interior grade). This calculator keeps that multiplication honest so a Kathmandu RCC frame is not compared to a Terai load-bearing quote as if they shared a rate.

Typical 2020s urban RCC rates often sit in a wide NPR-per-sq-ft band depending on finishes, seismic detailing, and whether the rate includes VAT, labour camp, and staircase finishes. Enter the rate your contractor actually named — do not inherit a YouTube number from another district.

This is not a BOQ or NBC structural design. Pair it with brick, concrete, and rebar tools for material sense-checks, then get a quantity survey. Municipal drawings and soil reports stay mandatory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Base cost = built-up area (sq.ft) × NPR per sq.ft. Estimated total = base × (1 + finishing contingency %). Default enquiry values in the engine are 1,200 sq.ft and NPR 2,800/sq.ft with 15% finishing — those are placeholders, not a Kathmandu NBC tariff.
No. Area × rate is building cost. Land, registration, malpot and brokerage are separate.
Ask two local contractors for an all-in NPR/sq.ft for your specification (RCC vs load-bearing, finishes, seismic detailing, VAT in or out). Use the higher figure for a conservative plan. Do not copy a YouTube rate from another district.
No. It is a contingency multiplier on the base for finishes/overruns you choose. VAT is the VAT calculator.
No. NBC, soil investigation and licensed engineers govern safety. This is a budget sketch.
Enter the same area definition your contractor used for the rate. Mixing carpet area with a built-up rate understates cost.
No. Those estimate materials. This multiplies an all-in rate. Use both: rate for cash planning, quantity tools for a BOQ sense-check.
Rates vary by city, labour, steel cycle and specification. The handler stores no official municipal schedule.
It is a simple rectangle × rate model. High-rises need quantity surveying, not this page.
If your spoken rate excluded them, add them outside this form or raise the NPR/sq.ft. The engine does not itemise extras.
