House Flipping Calculator
A house flipping calculator estimates a flip scenario by comparing ARV to purchase price, rehab, holding costs, and selling costs. It can show whether assumptions are tight, but it cannot verify comps, repairs, buyer demand, or timeline risk.
Estimates are based on your inputs and assumptions. DealSharp does not provide financial, investment, legal, tax, or lending advice.
Run the number, then pressure-test the assumptions.
A house flipping calculator estimates a flip scenario by comparing ARV to purchase price, rehab, holding costs, and selling costs. It can show whether assumptions are tight, but it cannot verify comps, repairs, buyer demand, or timeline risk.
Use this page to understand the metric directionally, then compare it against financing, reserves, repair risk, cash flow, and your own constraints.
Use this working calculator as a starting point, then run the full deal in DealSharp when you need more inputs, side-by-side scenarios, and risk context.
Estimated flip result = ARV - purchase price - rehab - holding costs - selling costs
If ARV is $300,000, purchase is $200,000, rehab is $45,000, holding costs are $8,000, and selling costs are $24,000, estimated net result is $23,000.

How to read this number

FAQ
What is ARV?
ARV means after repair value, or estimated property value after the planned rehab is complete.
Does this calculator prove a flip is profitable?
No. It estimates a scenario from inputs. Comps, bids, financing, taxes, and market risk still need review.
