ADU Investment Calculator

Building an ADU on your property, whether it is a new construction ADU or a garage conversion, is one of the most powerful investments you could make in your home. An ADU will increase your property value by up to 30% and many property owners utilize their ADUs to generate passive income. The return on investment is immediate and undeniable – so let’s calculate what your investment could be.

ADUs are like snowflakes, they’re all unique!

Your investment is going to look different depending on whether it’s a new construction ADU or the conversion of an existing space like a garage, if you’re going for top of the line finishes or sticking with the basics, the condition of your property (are we building on a hill or level ground), and, of course, square footage.
