Frequently asked questions
Budget calculator FAQs
Helpful details before you use your project plan.
How does the HomeDecorFix budget calculator work?
Enter your project budget, select an indoor or outdoor area, choose the project scope, and set aside an optional reserve. The calculator divides the remaining amount across example categories for that space.
Are these amounts accurate quotes?
No. This is a planning tool that organises the budget you enter. It does not predict local material or labour prices and should not replace a quote from a qualified professional.
Which indoor and outdoor spaces can I plan?
You can create a budget plan for the whole home, living room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, home office, hallway, nursery or kids’ room, laundry or utility room, garden, patio, balcony, porch, or outdoor dining area.
What is a flexible reserve?
It is a portion of your total budget that you leave unassigned while you compare products, confirm measurements, and learn more about the work.
Does the calculator save my information?
No. This page calculates the breakdown in your browser. The values are not sent to a server by this tool.
