Budget Inputs
Estimate annual and monthly maintenance savings using the 1% to 3% home-value rule.
Use current market value or a realistic recent estimate. The annual budget is based directly on this amount.
$
Rule percentage (1% to 3%)
The 1% to 3% rule is a common annual maintenance budgeting range based on home value.
%
1% is a conservative baseline often used for newer homes or years with fewer planned repairs.
Optional age multiplier
Use a multiplier above 1.00x to raise budget for older or higher-upkeep homes, or below 1.00x to reduce for lower-upkeep years.
Age multiplier is off. Annual budget uses only home value and rule percentage.
