Your result will appear here after you press Calculate.

How this calculator works

Item cost = quantity × rate (for lump-sum items use quantity 1 and enter the amount as the rate)

Subtotal = sum of item costs; Contingency = subtotal × contingency % ÷ 100

Total budget = subtotal + contingency

Assumptions and limits

  • No rates are pre-filled because renovation prices differ by city, brand and contractor. Enter quotes or rates you trust.
  • The contingency is an allowance you choose; 10% is only a starting suggestion.

This tool gives an approximate estimate from the values you enter. It is not a substitute for professional engineering design, site inspection, official quotations or applicable building regulations. See the calculator disclaimer.
