When budgeting for a home renovation or remodel, consider the house's condition, desired additions, and local property values. Avoid overspending based on emotions; prioritize return on investment (ROI). It's best to use Kukun's renovation cost calculator for accurate budgeting.

Set spending limits by room value relative to the home's total value: about 15% for a kitchen, 10% for a master bath, and 5% for smaller rooms. Keep room additions below the home's cost per square foot.

Giving your home a makeover can be an expensive affair. Unless you have ready cash, you'll want some financial aid. To choose the best loan option, the first step is to use a reliable loan calculator. The calculator will help you compute your loan payments for a loan amount, at a particular loan interest. It's a smart way to compare all your financial options and gauge what you can truly afford.

There are several ways to finance a home improvement project. You can opt for a secured loan such as a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit (HELOC). Or, an unsecured loan such as a personal loan. Other funding options include cash-out refinancing or taking a loan against a retirement plan.
