Repair cost deduction calculator
Build a repair planning subtotal across thirteen existing condition scopes and see an illustrative repair-to-price deduction.
How to use this tool
- Select observed repair needs and choose limited, moderate, or full scope. Age and equipment capacity alone do not establish a defect.
- Use the shared planning allowance or replace it with an absolute low/high quote for that scope. Quotes are not scaled again by severity.
- The illustrative deduction uses 50% of the low repair budget to 100% of the high budget. Unpriced parking or garage work stays unknown until you enter a quote.
Frequently asked questions
Are these local contractor quotes?
No. These are the same broad planning allowances used in OfferLens reports, with stated scope exclusions. Enter your own quote and verify local labor, permits, and actual work requirements.
Does age or panel amperage imply a repair?
No. Report an observed issue or obtain an inspection. Age or amperage by itself is an attribute, not evidence of a defect or necessary upgrade.
Can I add every allowance together?
Only add distinct scopes. The catalog explains exclusions to help avoid overlapping plumbing, electrical, finishes, envelope, drainage, and structural work. Unpriced scopes are excluded from subtotals, not assumed free.
Is the deduction a guaranteed seller concession?
No. The 50% to 100% shares are illustrative assumptions, not a market guarantee. Nothing in this tool recommends waiving inspection or other contingencies.
