ARV Calculator for Real Estate Investors

After Repair Value (ARV) is a key metric real estate investors use to evaluate a property’s resale potential after renovations. Use our free ARV Calculator to quickly estimate what a property could be worth post-rehab — and how much you can afford to offer.

Whether you’re flipping a house or applying the BRRRR method, a solid ARV estimate helps you bid with confidence and back your numbers with data.

How to Use the ARV Calculator

Enter your property’s estimated After Repair Value (ARV) and total renovation costs to calculate your maximum allowable offer (MAO) using the 70% Rule. This simple formula helps investors determine how much they can pay for a property while maintaining enough margin for profit, closing costs, and unexpected expenses.

What is ARV and Why it Matters

ARV stands for After Repair Value — the estimated market value of a property after renovations are completed. Investors use ARV to evaluate a property’s profit potential and decide how much to offer before starting a fix-and-flip or BRRRR project. Knowing the ARV helps you forecast your exit price, run the numbers with confidence, and secure financing for your investment strategy.

How ARV is Calculated

Maximum Offer = (ARV × 70%) − Renovation Costs

This is known as the 70% Rule — a simple formula many investors use to calculate their maximum allowable offer (MAO). It builds in a 30% cushion for profit, closing costs, and unexpected expenses.

For example, if the ARV is $300,000 and the renovation budget is $50,000: ($300,000 × 0.70) − $50,000 = $160,000 MAO
