What this calculator estimates
Estimate flip profit, project cost and return on cash invested.
How to use it
Enter Purchase price ($); Renovation cost ($); Holding period (months); Monthly holding cost ($); Expected sale price ($); Selling costs (%). Select Calculate to update the results.
How the calculation works
Holding costs = holding months × monthly holding cost. Selling costs = expected selling price × selling-cost percentage/100. Total project cost adds purchase, renovation, holding and selling costs. Profit subtracts that total from the sale price. ROI divides profit by purchase plus renovation plus holding costs; selling costs reduce profit but are excluded from this ROI denominator.
Worked example: starting scenario
| Purchase price ($) | 250000 |
|---|---|
| Renovation cost ($) | 65000 |
| Holding period (months) | 6 |
| Monthly holding cost ($) | 1800 |
| Expected sale price ($) | 400000 |
| Selling costs (%) | 7 |
| Estimated flip profit | $46,200.00 |
|---|---|
| Total project cost | $353,800.00 |
| Selling costs | $28,000.00 |
| Return on invested cash | 14.18% |
Important limitations
This is a project-cost ROI, not a leveraged cash-on-cash return or an annualized return. Financing charges and acquisition closing costs need to be included in your entered budgets when applicable. Income tax, uncertain resale prices and delays are not modeled automatically.
