The calculator uses the following assumptions for St George, Utah:

Worked Example

Let's calculate the cost of repairing a 5-square-inch windshield break in St George:

Break size: 5 square inches
Repair rate: $150 per square inch
Labor cost: $200

Calculation: (5 × $150) + $200 = $750 + $200 = $950

If you have insurance with a $200 deductible, your out-of-pocket cost would be $950 - $200 = $750.
