Profit = ARV − Purchase Cost − Rehab − Holding − Selling Costs
Estimate Project Profit →Build Your Flip Scenario
Results update as you change any input.
Enter your estimated resale value after renovation. This is a scenario assumption, not an appraisal.
Not a required assumption — set to $0 if you don't want to include one.
Total Rehab = Base Rehab + Contingency
Leave at $0 for an all-cash purchase.
Total Holding Costs = Monthly Holding Costs × Holding Period
Compensation is negotiable and varies by agreement — no default commission is assumed.

Worked Example
$340,000 ARV, $225,000 total acquisition cost, $50,000 rehab (with contingency), $8,000 financing cost, $3,000 holding cost, $22,000 selling cost:
Total Project Cost = $225,000 + $50,000 + $8,000 + $3,000 + $22,000 = $308,000
Profit = $340,000 − $308,000 = $32,000 (a 9.4% profit margin on ARV)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the ARV (After-Repair Value) an appraisal?
No. ARV is a value you enter — your own assumption or estimate — not an appraisal. Unless a Reaixo property analysis has provided you a specific figure, treat it as a scenario input, not a guaranteed sale price.
What is the difference between Break-Even Sale Price and Maximum Allowable Offer?
Break-Even Sale Price answers "at what sale price does this specific deal produce $0 profit?" Maximum Allowable Offer answers a different question: "using a quick industry rule of thumb, what's a reasonable ceiling on my purchase price?" Both are scenario estimates based on your assumptions, not offers or appraisals.
Why does the calculator separate rehab contingency from the rehab budget?
Renovation projects commonly run over budget. Showing contingency separately — and the "what if rehab goes over budget" sensitivity table — makes that risk visible instead of hiding it inside a single number.
Does profit here include taxes?
No. Estimated Profit is a scenario estimate based on the costs and ARV you enter. It does not include income taxes, capital gains treatment, or other tax effects — consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
What if my project takes longer than expected?
Every extra month typically adds holding and financing costs. The "Holding Period Risk" section estimates that monthly cost based on your inputs — it does not predict whether your specific project will actually be delayed.
