How this estimate works

The size presets are editable planning assumptions supplied for this tool, not market quotes. Each size has Economy, Standard, and Premium starting budgets; Premium is open-ended.

Studio: $5,000 / $8,000 / $12,000+. One bedroom: $8,000 / $12,000 / $18,000+. Two bedrooms: $12,000 / $18,000 / $28,000+. Three bedrooms: $18,000 / $28,000 / $40,000+. Four bedrooms: $25,000 / $38,000 / $50,000+.

Applying a preset or editing the base budget redistributes it using the visible starter allocation. Editing a category instead updates the base-budget total. Outdoor / other starts at zero and is fully editable. Applying a preset intentionally replaces your category edits.

Total furnishing cash = category subtotal + subtotal × contingency percent ÷ 100. The initial 10% contingency is an editable assumption. Enter tax-inclusive quotes in each category where possible; delivery and assembly have their own line.

The budget covers furnishings and equipment, not acquisition, renovations, operating reserves, or guest consumables. Put the finished amount into the startup cost calculator and plan opening stock with the original supply calculator.
