Calculation check: 3.72 m² × A$135.75 = A$504.99; 3.34 m² × A$286.50 = A$956.91. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$2,404.97. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.
Assumptions and scope boundaries
Power points and short returns affect layout work. Identify trim length and penetrations separately so a simple field-tile area does not conceal the detailed portions of the job.
Outside this example: No benchtop replacement, wall reconstruction, electrical device relocation or specialty tile pattern beyond the described selection.
Selections, access or concealed conditions that differ from this scope require a revised quantity, allowance or separate line. The example deliberately separates them so the client can see what has and has not been priced.

Common questions about kitchen splashback installation
Why buy more tile than the installed area?
Cuts and layout can require additional material. State the purchasing quantity as an example assumption and revise it for the selected tile and actual pattern.
Do power point cutouts belong in the splashback estimate?
Yes when they affect tile cutting. Distinguish tile cuts from electrical device work, which may require its own scope.
