How to use the number

An inspection report is a list of conditions, not a bill. Rank what you selected into three buckets: safety and structure (fix or negotiate, always), systems near end of life (ask for a credit), and maintenance (plan for it, don't fight over it). The total above is the sum of everything you ticked, which is almost never what a seller will agree to — it is what you use to decide how much to ask for.

Two things the calculator deliberately does not do: it never mixes in prices for work a home inspector cannot assess (specialist reports, sewer scopes, structural engineering), and it does not guess your local labour rate beyond the regional index you pick.

FAQ

How much should I budget for repairs after a home inspection?

Budget from severity, not the raw list: safety and structural items first, then systems near end of life. A useful rule of thumb is to treat any single item above roughly 1% of the purchase price as a negotiation item, and the rest as a maintenance fund.

Are these costs exact?

No — they are typical US market ranges for planning, adjusted by a regional index. Always get two or three licensed quotes before you commit.

Can I ask the seller to pay for repairs?

Yes, usually as a repair credit or price reduction rather than the seller managing the work. Lead with anything that affects safety, structure or insurability.
