Free · no sign-up · 2026 cost benchmarks with regional and currency adjustments.
Adjusts benchmark costs to your currency and regional cost level.
Estimates are for planning purposes only. Actual costs, resale value and ROI may vary by market, property condition, project scope, contractor pricing and timing. This is general information, not financial, investment, construction, legal or tax advice.
How it compares
Every project ranked by how much of its cost you recoup at resale, at your settings. Your pick is highlighted.
Estimate your remodel budget in seconds
Choose a project, set your market and finish level, and adjust the scope to match your job. The calculator returns a typical cost and range, plus the resale value it tends to add — so you budget with the return in view, not just the sticker price.

Costs adjust to your market
Benchmarks are national midrange “Cost vs. Value” averages, then adjusted for finish level, project size and region (US, UK, Eurozone, Canada, Australia, New Zealand). They’re planning estimates — always confirm with two or three local quotes.
Who it's for
Frequently asked questions
How much does a home renovation cost?
It depends entirely on the project, finish level, size and location. Use the calculator to get a typical cost and range for your specific project and market — for example a minor kitchen remodel averages around $27,000 nationally at a midrange finish.
Does the calculator include labour and materials?
Yes — the benchmark cost reflects a typical labour-and-materials job, and the results page shows an approximate labour/materials split.
Can I enter my own contractor quote?
Yes. Enter your quote to override the benchmark and still see the resale value and net cost against your real figure.
Are the costs specific to my country?
Choose your market and the benchmarks adjust to the local cost level and currency for the US, UK, Eurozone, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
