🏚️ ARV Calculator – After Repair Value
Estimate a property’s After Repair Value and your maximum purchase offer for a fix-and-flip investment.
What is After Repair Value?
After Repair Value (ARV) is the estimated market value of a property once planned renovations are complete. Real estate investors use ARV to decide how much they can afford to pay for a fixer-upper while still leaving room for repairs and profit.
The formula
ARV = Comparable Price per Square Foot × Property Square Footage. Many investors then apply the “70% rule”: Maximum Offer = (ARV × Rule Percentage) − Estimated Repair Costs, which leaves margin for buying costs, holding costs, and profit.
This calculator is for general educational and planning purposes, not investment advice. Actual ARV should be based on a professional appraisal or a detailed comparable sales (comps) analysis by a local real estate expert.
