Well Drilling Cost Calculator

This adds up what a water well costs from the rates in front of you rather than from an average. Enter the depth and the per-foot drilling rate, then the cased footage and its rate, the pump, pressure tank, electrical, trench to the house, permits, water testing and a contingency percentage, and it returns every line and the total with a cost per foot of depth. A second action prices a shallow outcome against a deep one from the same rates. Depth is the figure nobody knows until the hole is drilled, so treat any quoted total as a rate plus a guess.

Depths and Per-Length Rates In

Feet and dollars per foot Metres and dollars per metre

A borehole is quoted per metre in most of the world and per foot in the United States. Pick the one your quote is written in; the lump sums are dollars either way.

Depth to Drill (ft) *

The estimate in the quote. Nobody knows the real figure until the hole is drilled.

Drilling Rate ($ per unit of depth) *

Cased Length (ft)

Casing Rate ($ per unit of length)

Pump and Installation ($)

Pressure Tank ($)

Electrical and Controls ($)

Trench to the House (ft)

Trenching and Water Line ($ per unit of length)

Permits and Fees ($)

Water Testing ($)
