The problem
Renovation costs add up fast
A renovation is rarely one project. It's a roof repair, then flooring, then a bathroom, each with materials, labor, and small purchases that are easy to lose track of. Without one place to see it all, it's hard to know if you're still on budget until the money is gone. This calculator keeps every project in one list, adds up what you actually spend, and shows where your budget stands at any point.
Who it's for
- Homeowners planning a renovation over several months
- Anyone juggling more than one project at once
- DIYers who want to track materials, labor, and receipts
- People who want the numbers done for them, not by hand
