How to Use This Fix and Flip Calculator

Enter your purchase price and closing costs, your rehab budget, how long you expect to hold the property, and your projected after-repair value (ARV). The calculator instantly shows your projected net profit, ROI, and full cost breakdown — no download, no signup, no waiting.

What Counts as a Good Fix and Flip ROI?

Most experienced flippers target a minimum ROI of 15–20% and a net profit large enough to cover the risk of the project — many use a rule of thumb of at least $20,000–$30,000 in projected profit before moving forward, since rehab costs commonly run over budget.

Why Use a Fix and Flip Calculator Before You Buy

Running the numbers through a fix and flip calculator before you make an offer is what separates a profitable deal from an expensive lesson. Most first-time flippers underestimate two things: how much the rehab actually costs once real contractor quotes come in, and how fast holding costs add up if the project runs past its planned timeline. A fix and flip calculator forces you to account for both before you're locked into a purchase, using the same 70% rule and ARV math professional investors rely on — rather than an optimistic guess about what the property will sell for.

Once you own the property, a projection isn't enough anymore — you need to track what you're actually spending against that budget, trade by trade, in real time. That's the gap between a one-time calculator and a tool like FlipMargin's live profit tracking.

Fix and Flip Calculator FAQ

Is this calculator accurate?

It gives a solid projection based on the numbers you enter, but it's only as accurate as your inputs — especially your ARV and rehab budget estimates. Always verify ARV with comps from a local agent, and get real contractor quotes before finalizing your numbers.

What's included in "holding costs"?

Holding costs are everything you pay each month while you own the property before selling it: loan or mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, and utilities.

Does this account for financing costs like loan points or interest?

Roll any loan origination fees or points into your Closing Costs field, and include your monthly interest/loan payment inside your Monthly Holding Cost figure.

Can I use this for wholesaling or BRRRR deals?

This calculator is built specifically for the buy-rehab-sell (fix and flip) model. For wholesaling or BRRRR analysis, you'll want a calculator built around those specific numbers — reach out and we're happy to point you to the right tool.

Is there a spreadsheet version I can save and reuse?

Yes — grab our free House Flip Tracker spreadsheet if you'd rather work offline or track a project's real spend over time instead of just projecting it upfront.
