Project ROI checker

Before you build, know what it gives back. This checker uses the published national remodeling cost-and-resale data to show what a project typically costs, what it returns at sale, and the gap you're paying for enjoyment. Sources and report years on the methodology page.

Estimates from national-average survey data, labeled with the report year in your result. Your market, your house, and your finishes move these numbers a lot — coastal metros and modest neighborhoods can sit far from the average. Use this to compare projects against each other, not to predict your sale price. We refresh figures when new report editions publish.
