Fix-and-Flip Profit Calculator
Fix-and-flip profit is the sale price minus every cost: purchase, rehab, holding, financing, and selling. If you sell for $300,000 and your total costs are $240,000, your net profit is $60,000. Beginners often forget holding, financing, and selling costs — which together can run 15%+ of the sale price.
Net Profit = Sale Price − (Purchase + Rehab + Holding + Financing + Selling Costs)
How it works
This calculator nets out a flip the way it actually settles. Start with the expected sale price (your ARV), then subtract every cost bucket: what you paid for the property, the renovation, the holding costs while you owned it, the financing (points and interest), and the selling costs (agent commission, concessions, closing).
The result is your projected net profit, plus a margin showing profit as a share of the sale price. The costs beginners under-budget are holding, financing, and selling — model them honestly and the number you see is the one you'll actually keep.

- How do you calculate profit on a house flip?
- Subtract all costs from the sale price: purchase price, rehab, holding costs, financing costs, and selling costs. What remains is your net profit. For example, a $300,000 sale with $240,000 in total costs nets $60,000.
- What is a good profit margin on a flip?
- Many flippers target a net profit of at least $25,000–$50,000 per deal, or a margin large enough to absorb surprises. Recent industry data puts average gross ROI near 23–25%, but net profit after all costs is the number that matters.
- What costs do people forget when calculating flip profit?
- The most commonly missed costs are holding costs (interest, taxes, insurance, utilities while you own it), financing points and interest, and selling costs like agent commission and concessions, which can total 6–8% of the sale price.
