A conservative flip profit calculator
A house flip can look profitable when the math stops at purchase price, rehab and resale value. The real result depends on the full path from acquisition to closing: buyer costs, repair overruns, monthly carrying costs, agent commission, seller closing costs and concessions. This free flip profit calculator keeps those inputs visible so the deal is not judged from a headline spread. Enter the purchase price, estimated rehab, After Repair Value, buying costs, monthly holding cost, hold time and selling costs. The result is a conservative net profit and ROI percentage that updates as each assumption changes.
The formula is intentionally direct: ARV minus purchase, rehab, buying, holding and selling costs. ROI is calculated on cash in the deal before resale, which is useful for screening a fix-and-flip quickly. Conservative underwriting means using the lower end of your ARV range, adding contingency to rehab, and assuming one extra month of holding when the schedule is not locked. If the deal still works after those adjustments, it is more likely to survive real-world friction.
Use it with the other FlipIQ tools

If you need a quick offer screen, compare the result with the 70% Rule Calculator. For a deeper underwriting pass, use the Holding Cost Calculator to make sure taxes, insurance, interest and utilities are not understated. FlipIQ's full analyzer ties those numbers together from an address, comps and an editable rehab scope.

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate flip profit?＋
Flip profit is the resale value minus every cost required to buy, renovate, hold and sell the property. This calculator uses: net profit = ARV - purchase price - rehab - buying costs - holding costs - selling costs.
What costs should I include in a flip ROI calculator?＋
Include purchase price, repair budget, buyer closing costs, loan interest, taxes, insurance, utilities, HOA, seller closing costs, agent commission, concessions and any cleanup or staging. Missing small costs is one of the easiest ways to overstate profit.
How is ROI calculated for a flip?＋
This calculator divides net profit by cash invested before resale: purchase plus rehab, buying costs and holding costs. It is a practical screening ROI, not a tax or accounting return.
Should selling costs be based on ARV or purchase price?＋
Selling costs should usually be based on the expected resale price or ARV, because agent commissions and many seller costs are tied to the sale price. If you are uncertain, use a higher percentage.
What is a good ROI for a house flip?＋
There is no universal target because risk, speed, leverage and market conditions vary. Many investors want enough margin to survive rehab overruns, price reductions and a longer hold. Underwrite against your downside case, not the best comp.
Is this calculator investment advice?＋
No. It is a free decision-support calculator. Verify ARV with local comps, confirm rehab with a contractor scope, and check financing and closing costs before making an offer.
