Create Free AccountWhat it does
The Flip Profit Calculator computes net flip profit by combining purchase price, detailed rehab costs, holding period expenses (mortgage interest, taxes, utilities, insurance), hard money financing costs, and selling expenses to produce the bottom-line profit. Input all costs and exit price to see actual profit that remains after every expense.
Most flip failures stem from cost overruns and underestimated holding periods destroying otherwise viable deals. This calculator forces comprehensive cost modeling so you understand profit sensitivity to construction delays, interest rate changes, and market conditions before committing capital.
Who it's for
- Fix-and-flip operators pricing deals to hit minimum profit targets before offers
- General contractors estimating project profitability before accepting investor work

Frequently asked questions
What profit margin should I target?
15–25% of ARV after all costs. Below 10% = thin; 20%+ = healthy; 30%+ = rare or great market timing.
Should I finance the rehab or use cash?
Hard money: 8–12% rate, 2–3 points, covers acquisition + rehab, faster close. Cash: owns the deal, no interest, liquidity frozen.
How much contingency should I add to rehab?
10–15% of contractor estimate. Most flips find $5K–10K in hidden issues (foundation, mechanical, structure).
Do I include realtor commission?
Yes — 5–6% on flip sales is typical. Factor full commission; negotiate later if possible.
