Materials will run from $2.50-$5.00 per square foot.
Installation from $3.00 - $6.00 per square foot.
You should be under $10.00 per square foot, in total.
I would target $7.00 per square foot.
Variables are whether you remove existing mouldings (don't try to re-install, just replace it).
Size of rooms (waste), moving furniture (ease of installation).
How well you negotiate and the quality of the install and product.
You'll pay be the quantity of materials needed, not necessarily the amount of actual square feet of area. Waste is minimal, so it's not usually a huge deal (unlike carpet or sheet goods).
Don't forget removal of what you currently have on the floor.
