How to Use the Apartment Floor Price Calculator
Enter a reference floor number and its known price, then input the target floor and the estimated price increment per floor. The calculator shows the floor difference, total price difference, and the projected price at the target floor. This is useful for comparing units in the same building at different heights when you know the general per-floor premium from recent sales data.
Floor price premiums vary considerably by building, location, and market. In sought-after urban areas, each floor can add 0.5–2% of unit value, while buildings without strong views may have minimal floor premiums. Ground-floor and second-floor units typically sell at a discount, while penthouse floors sometimes attract a separate premium — or a discount for perceived maintenance issues. Always verify with actual comparable sales in your target building.

It gives a linear estimate based on a fixed price-per-floor. Real buildings may have non-linear pricing (e.g., extra premiums at certain view floors). Use actual recent transaction data for the specific building to validate the estimate.
