Fix & Flip Profit Calculator

Project profit and ROI on your next flip.

← All calculators

What it does

Calculates net profit and ROI for a fix-and-flip by subtracting purchase price, rehab, holding costs, and selling costs from ARV.

Why it matters

Projected profit is meaningless without accounting for all costs. This calculator forces you to model every line item before you make an offer.

How to Use

  1. 1
    Enter purchase price and rehab costs: Use real bids, not estimates. Add a 10–20% contingency to rehab.
  2. 2
    Enter holding costs and months: Monthly carrying cost × expected hold period. Be conservative on timeline.
  3. 3
    Enter selling costs and ARV: Selling costs typically 6–8% (agent commission + closing). ARV from actual comps.

Best Practices & Benchmarks

  • Minimum ROI target: most experienced flippers require 20%+ ROI on total cost; margins below 15% leave little room for cost overruns or a soft market.
  • Holding costs are consistently underestimated. Budget 1–2% of purchase price per month (loan interest, taxes, insurance, utilities, carrying costs). A 3-month flip plan often becomes 6–9 months.
  • Use a 10–20% rehab contingency on top of contractor bids. Even experienced investors encounter hidden issues: plumbing, electrical, structural.
  • Selling costs typically run 6–8% all-in: 2.5–3% buyer's agent, 2.5–3% listing agent, 1–1.5% closing costs and transfer taxes.
  • ARV must be based on closed comps (sold within 90 days, within ½ mile, similar size/condition/updates) — not Zestimates, not asking prices.
