Renovation Cost Calculator

Pick a project and a city, then adjust size and finish tier to get a localized estimate range. Every input maps directly to real cost drivers — regional labor index, project size, and material/finish quality — not a black-box formula.

How this calculator works

Estimated cost = national average cost × the destination city's regional cost index × a finish-tier multiplier (budget ×0.72, mid-range ×1.0, premium ×1.55), scaled by the size ratio you enter versus a typical project of that type. This mirrors how contractors build a rough order-of-magnitude estimate before a full walkthrough. See our full methodology for source data and update cadence.
