What does the fix and flip calculator do?

Focused on renovation-driven flips: emphasize rehab duration, holding costs, and after-repair value while using the same FlipMetric flip engine.

Who should use it?

Investors evaluating light-to-heavy rehabs who need net profit—not just ARV minus purchase.

What you need to enter

  • Purchase and ARV
  • Itemizable rehab budget
  • Rehab and total project months
  • Financing (cash or hard money)
  • Holding and selling costs

How the calculation works

  1. 1Rehab and holding months drive insurance, tax, utilities, and interest estimates.
  2. 2Net profit accounts for buying, holding, financing, and selling costs.
  3. 3MAO helps keep offers aligned with ARV and rehab.

The same formulas run the full workspace and are listed on the formulas page.

Worked example

Illustrative renovation resale

Purchase
$200,000
Rehab
$55,000
ARV
$320,000

Hypothetical. Confirm contractor bids and local permits before offering.

How to read the results

  • Watch cash invested rise with longer holds and higher interest.
  • If rehab grows, MAO falls — renegotiate purchase or scope.

Common mistakes and limits

  • Underbidding rehab contingencies.
  • Ignoring permit delays in project months.

Permitting timelines and wind-mitigation work can extend holds. Budget insurance carefully on vacant renovations.
