Most cost calculators give you a national average and call it an estimate. These start from published federal wage, price, and climate data for your state, show a low, typical, and high range, and lay out every line and assumption that produced the number.

What makes these different

Sourced, and honest where it is not

Labor comes from BLS wage data for the specific trade in your state. Electricity comes from the EIA. Climate comes from NOAA. Where no agency publishes what we need, the figure is labelled an assumption rather than dressed up as sourced.

A range, not a false single number

Every result gives a low, typical, and high figure, a confidence level, and a plain statement of what the calculator could not know about your house.

Nothing collected, nothing sold

No account, no email, no phone number, and no passing your details to contractors. Calculations run in your browser. The most specific thing we ever ask for is a ZIP code, and that is optional.
