Daycare Playground Cost Calculator

Enter your play area, the age bands you serve and the surfacing you have in mind. The calculator returns an equipment band, a cost per square foot and the six-line project budget the quotation will be structured around.

Six-line budget structure

Line bands come from published project breakdowns of differing scope. They do not sum to 100 percent, so a real budget lands inside them rather than at the top of all six.

What this estimate is not

It is not a quotation. Safety surfacing and installation are sourced in your own market and are quoted as separate lines.
It does not model the 9 ft (2.7 m) clear distance between two stationary structures, which is ground you pay to surface and cannot play on.
It does not know your ceiling height or column positions, and a tall soft play unit in a small footprint costs several times more per ft² than a spread-out outdoor system.
