There is no one price, & no one quality, could be junk for about a buck or premium stuff for $6-10 or more a foot. Here's a good rule of thumb, assuming you shop for value and don't over pay.

Expect 5 years of good service for every $1 you spend on carpet, (not pad or labor) per foot.

$1 buck/ sq /ft= 5 years of good service

$2 buck Sq/ Ft= 10 years & so on..

So much depends on the quality of the carpet. The price can vary from a pound or less per sq ft to many pounds, even dozens of pounds.

Most stores offer free estimates so what does that cost you to have someone put an actual product with an actual quote.. you can always say no thanks.

$20 per yard = 2.22 per sq foot.
