Car Wrap Cost Calculator
Estimate wrap cost from vehicle class, coverage, film, design work, old-wrap removal, and extras — using area presets, not a full make/model database. Click any i for detail.

Vehicle class
Presets: sedan ≈ 180, SUV ≈ 220, pickup ≈ 250, van ≈ 320 sq ft at full coverage. |

|---|---|
Coverage
i
Coverage
Full wrap vs three-quarter, partial fleet panels, or accent-only jobs. |
|
Film type
i
Film type
Commercial print is common for fleets; specialty color-flip films cost more. |
|
Design work
i
Design work
From logo placement to full custom art or fleet template sets. |
|
Old wrap removal
i
Old wrap removal
Priced on the same covered area as the new film. Brittle old vinyl takes longer. |
|
Extras
i
Extras
Ceramic over wrap or PPF on high-wear panels — optional, not a full PPF job. |
|
Install complexity
i
Install complexity
Deep curves, lots of rivets, or commercial box sides take more labor. |

Your state

Your state
Scales midpoints vs U.S. average — not a wrap-shop quote. |
How to use this calculator
- Pick vehicle class and coverage level.
- Choose film type and design work.
- Add old-wrap removal or ceramic/PPF extras if needed.
- Set install complexity and your state.
- Review the itemized shop midpoint.
Results explained
The headline itemizes film area, design, removal, and extras. Coverage % comes from the coverage preset × vehicle area. Complexity scales film/removal labor lines.
Quick reference: wrap building blocks
Full-coverage area presets and U.S.-average film midpoints before complexity/state scaling.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Sedan full wrap area | ~180 sq ft |
| SUV full wrap area | ~220 sq ft |
| Pickup full wrap area | ~250 sq ft |
| Commercial print film | $14 / sq ft |
| Specialty / color-flip | $22 / sq ft |
| Custom design / file prep | $550 |
| Full old-wrap removal | $3.75 / sq ft |
Coverage: full 100% · three-quarter 75% · partial 45% · accent 20%. Complexity: easy ×1.00 · typical ×1.08 · hard ×1.20.
How the estimate is built
Vehicle preset sq ft × coverage fraction × film rate, plus design and extras, plus removal on the same area. Complexity scales film/removal; state scales the stack.
Example scenario
A sedan full commercial wrap with custom design and typical complexity at U.S. average pricing: ~180 sq ft × $14 ≈ $2,520 film labor/material midpoint, plus ~$550 design — before removal or specialty film.
FAQ
Why not make/model lookup?
Shop pricing tracks panel area and film more than badge name. Presets stay fast and honest.
Is this a full PPF quote?
No — the PPF option is accent/high-wear panels only, not a full clear-bra package.
Fleet of many vans?
Use van + partial/fleet coverage and the fleet design option, then multiply by vehicle count outside the tool.
