Contingency is for real surprises, not planned upgrades. Keep it separate so you can manage scope creep.
How this calculator works
Rehab projects rarely come in exactly on budget. This calculator adds a contingency buffer so you can plan an “all-in” rehab number more realistically.
What it includes
- Contingency dollars
- All-in rehab estimate
- Quick budget sanity-check
How to use it
- Enter your base rehab budget.
- Choose a contingency % (many investors start at 10–20%).
- Use the all-in rehab number in MAO and flip profit math.
FAQ
What contingency % should I use?
It depends on property age, scope, and uncertainty. Light cosmetic work may use 10%. Bigger rehabs or older homes may warrant 15–25%+.
Is contingency the same as profit?
No. Contingency is budget buffer for cost overruns. Profit is your target return for taking the risk.
