About House Flipping ROI Calculator
The House Flipping ROI Calculator measures the return on a flip from two numbers: the total investment committed to the project and the price the property sells for. It subtracts investment from sale price to get profit, then expresses that profit as a percentage of the investment.
Because the result is a return on total invested capital rather than a raw dollar figure, you can compare a flip against other uses of the same money — the percentage answers the question a dollar profit alone cannot.
Enter the investment and the sale price, press Calculate, and read profit and ROI together with the calculation restated.
Formula & Mathematical Calculation
Profit = Sale Price − Total Investment
ROI (%) = Profit ÷ Total Investment × 100
Exactly the two fields on this form. The calculator requires the investment to be greater than 0 before dividing.
Calculation Example
With $180,000 of total investment (purchase, rehab, and carrying costs combined) and a sale at $235,000, the profit is $235,000 − $180,000 = $55,000, which is an ROI of $55,000 ÷ $180,000 × 100 = 30.56%.
Key Benefits
- Converts a flip's dollar profit into a return percentage you can compare against alternative investments.
- Uses exactly two inputs — total investment and sale price — with no hidden assumptions.
- Shows both the profit in dollars and the ROI percentage from the same calculation.
- Rejects a zero investment before dividing, so the ROI is never undefined.
How to Use this Calculator
-
Enter the total investment
Type everything you will commit to the project — purchase price, rehab budget, and carrying costs — in the Total Investment ($) field, for example 180000. This must be greater than 0. -
Enter the sale price
Type the price you expect to sell for in the Sale Price ($) field, for example 235000. -
Press Calculate
The tool subtracts investment from sale price to show profit, then divides profit by investment and multiplies by 100 for ROI. -
Read the interpretation
The result line restates the ROI formula with your numbers so you can see exactly which division produced the percentage.
