What labour cost band does the calculator assume, and does it vary by locality?

The calculator uses a labour band appropriate to typical Bangalore residential construction, and it can shift slightly with locality since access, site congestion and prevailing local rates differ across the city. Labour and enabling costs are often a bigger share of the total than owners expect, even when attention is focused on tile brands and fittings. The calculator's live labour estimate is meant to make that share visible rather than hidden inside a single blended rate.
