hoe to calculate/estimate the cost of insulation when

Volume: pi(d) x Length x thickness
V : m3 (meter cubed)

given: price/meter (USD/m)

so, the total price will be? volume (m3) x price/m ?
 
You may also like to take into account:-

Material
Cleading
Degree of difficulty in applying
Valve boxes or not
Environment
Vapour barrier

If you are given a price in $/m, the only other item you'd need would be the length of piping you need insulated.

 
Ask your question to two or three insulation contractors. So many valid things are mentioned already, but equally haven't and can only be answered on the job. Scaffolding I could add for one.
