What ARV Calculator – After Repair Value does
The ARV Calculator on Omni Calculator determines the After Repair Value (ARV) of a property, helping investors estimate the maximum bid price for purchasing homes needing renovations. Users input the property's current value or its price per square foot/meter, then add the total renovation cost to see the projected post-renovation value and potential return on investment. The tool is designed to simplify real estate financial analysis for property flippers and landlords. Unlike generic calculators, this version integrates the widely referenced 70% rule for house flipping directly into its interface, offering a quick reference alongside the core ARV computation. It also provides a unique embeddable widget option for users who want to share the calculator on their own websites, a feature not commonly found in similar free tools. The layout is straightforward, presenting inputs like renovation cost and current value side-by-side with outputs such as maximum bid price and ROI percentage, all without requiring an account or subscription.

ARV Calculator – After Repair Value FAQ
- How is the After Repair Value (ARV) different from the current property value?
- ARV estimates the property's value after renovations are completed, while current value reflects its market price in its existing condition. The calculator uses the current value or price per square foot as a base and adds the renovation cost to project ARV.
- What is the 70% rule and how does this calculator use it?
- The 70% rule is a house-flipping guideline suggesting an investor should pay no more than 70% of the property's after-repair value minus the renovation costs. This calculator automatically applies that formula to output a maximum bid price based on the ARV you enter.
- Can I use this calculator if I only know the price per square foot rather than the total property value?
- Yes, the tool allows you to input the average price per square foot or per square meter. You will also need to provide the property's total square footage to calculate the current value baseline, or the calculator may use that figure directly if entered.
- Is there a limit to how many properties I can calculate ARV for?
- There is no limit on the number of calculations you can perform; you can reload the calculator or clear all inputs to start a new estimate for any property at any time.
