The numbers behind the calculator - published Australian installed rates, cross-checked.
$85-$160/m installed · typically $110-$140/m
Materials alone run about $55-$100/m, so labour is roughly half the installed price. A typical 30 m run with removal and a gate lands around $3,800-$6,550 - exactly what the calculator shows for that spec.

Frameless glass runs $350-$650/m (most jobs $430-$600/m). Gates must be compliant, and certification/inspection is a separate $150-$500.
Gates $350-$2,500 · Removal $15-$35/m
On a real quote, removal, plinths and gates routinely add 20-40% to the fence-line price. They are separate lines here so nothing hides.
Fencing is one of the few trades priced honestly by the metre - double the run, roughly double the price, with a small-job loading under 20 m.
Sloping ground needs stepped or racked panels; rocky ground slows every post hole. Together they can add 15-40% to the fence line.
Contractor quotes on identical fencing work vary by 20-30% (Project Price Point). Always get at least two, and check whether removal and gates are actually in them.
The fencing guide covers every material rate, pool compliance in plain English, dividing-fence law, and the licence thresholds by state.
