How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Upfront project cost = purchase + renovation + acquisition closing + financing + other costs.
- 2Holding cost = monthly holding costs × holding period months.
- 3Total project cost = upfront project cost + holding cost.
- 4Net sale proceeds = sale price − selling costs.
- 5Net flip profit = net sale proceeds − total project cost.
- 6ROI = net flip profit ÷ total project cost × 100; margin = net flip profit ÷ sale price × 100.
Formulas
- Upfront cost = purchase + renovation + acquisition closing + financing + other
- Holding cost = monthly holding × months
- Selling cost = sale price × selling-cost%
- Profit = sale proceeds − total project cost
- ROI = profit ÷ total project cost × 100
- Margin = profit ÷ sale price × 100
Important assumptions
