Property Flip Profit Calculator
Estimate property flip profit, project ROI and break-even sale price from acquisition, rehab, holding and selling costs.
Estimate property flip profit
Model sale proceeds, total project cost, profit, ROI and break-even sale price for a property flip.
How the Property Flip Profit Calculator works
The flip model adds purchase price, rehab, holding/financing and purchase closing costs to form the project cost before sale. Selling costs are calculated as a percentage of sale price. Profit equals sale price minus all entered project and selling costs. Break-even sale price solves for the sale price that covers the fixed project costs plus percentage selling cost.
How to use this property flip profit calculator
Enter realistic acquisition and renovation budgets, carrying costs for the expected project duration, purchase closing costs, projected resale price and percentage selling cost. Keep the same tax basis/currency throughout. If a cost is uncertain, use conservative values or run multiple scenarios instead of entering a single optimistic number.
How to interpret the result
Profit shows estimated dollars remaining before investor tax. ROI compares profit with the fixed project cost before percentage selling expense, providing a simple project-yield view. Break-even sale price is useful because it tells you how much downside exists between your expected exit price and the price at which the project stops making a pre-tax profit.
Assumptions and limitations
The calculation does not estimate capital gains/income tax, lender points, construction delays, financing draws, opportunity cost, market-price uncertainty or detailed cash timing. Percentage selling cost is a simplification. A full underwriting model should schedule cash flows by date and stress resale price, timeline and rehab overruns.
Practical example and workflow
If acquisition plus rehab, carrying and purchase closing costs total 3.82 million and selling costs are 5%, the break-even sale price is about 4.02 million. An expected 4.3 million exit therefore has limited price cushion, which may be more decision-useful than looking only at headline gross profit.
