We hold a readable price for one plank only, so this page does not put a price on the other lines. If you have a Pergo price from a store or a quote, check it below.

Common Questions
How much does Pergo laminate cost per square foot?
The Pergo plank we could read on 13 October 2026, Outlast+ XL New Market Hickory (12mm, AC4, pad attached), was $2.99 per sq ft at Home Depot. Pergo's own website lists no prices; retailers set them, so other Pergo lines and other stores will differ.
How much does it cost to install Pergo laminate?
About $5.29 to $6.29 per sq ft for that plank: $2.99 plus 10% for waste, plus Home Depot's last published labour of $2.00 to $3.00 per sq ft. No separate underlayment, because the pad is attached. A 12x12 room comes to $762 to $906 and 400 sq ft to $2,116 to $2,516, before removal, trim or subfloor work.
Is Pergo more expensive than other laminate?
Not the plank we priced. At $2.99 it sets the top of our mid-range grade ($1.89 to $2.99 per sq ft), the same 12mm, pad-attached class as Home Depot's own Home Decorators Collection at $1.89. AquaGuard Performance (AC5) at Floor & Decor starts at the same $2.99.
Does Pergo need underlayment?
Not the Outlast+ XL plank we priced: Pergo lists it as 10 mm plus a 2 mm attached pad. Over concrete, Home Decorators Collection and Floor & Decor instructions both call for a 6 mil polyethylene film under a floating floor; check the instructions in your box.
What AC rating is Pergo?
Home Depot lists both Pergo Outlast+ planks we opened (New Market Hickory XL and Golden Rustic Oak) as AC4. AC classes come from the European standard EN 13329 and measure wear only; see our AC ratings guide for what they do and do not tell you.
