Remodeling lead value calculator: what’s one lead worth?

Remodeling leads book less often and take longer to sign. Each one that does can carry a big ticket. Do the math before judging the cost.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Your numbers.

  1. 01

    Enter your numbers

    Enter your average remodel value and gross margin.

  2. 02

    Watch it recalculate

    Add the share of leads that book a design or estimate visit.

  3. 03

    Use the answer

    Add the share of those visits that turn into a signed contract.

How the math works

Revenue and profit per lead

Project value × booking rate × close rate = revenue per lead. × gross margin = gross profit per lead.

Count the slow signers

Homeowners can take months between the first visit and a signed contract. Measure close rate over that full stretch, or it reads too low.

Example (not a benchmark)

$60,000 project, 30% book, 30% sign: $5,400 revenue per lead. At a 35% margin, $1,890 gross profit per lead. About 11 leads per signed project.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions we hear.

Does this predict what my remodeling leads will earn?

No. It’s arithmetic on your inputs. The defaults are example numbers, not a remodeling benchmark.

Kitchens and full remodels pay very differently. Which value do I use?

Run each project type on its own. A bathroom lead and a whole-home lead belong in separate runs, and probably separate campaigns.

Why is my booking rate so low?

Often it’s the budget gap. Homeowners who expect a kitchen at a fraction of the real cost drop out once price comes up. Asking budget before the visit filters them early.

What raises the value of a remodeling lead?

Qualifying on budget and timeline before you book, and staying in touch through the long decision. Both lift the rates without changing your ads.
