How does this calculator work?
What questions do people ask about this calculator?
What does the adu cost calculator calculate?
It applies ADU cost = area × cost per square foot to the values you enter and reports a transparent estimate. It is a planning aid, not professional medical, financial, or statistical advice.
Which inputs matter most?
The result changes directly with the quantities in the displayed formula. Change one input at a time and record the assumptions so you can compare scenarios.
Are the units important?
Yes. Enter every value in the unit shown beside its field. Converting a unit incorrectly can change the result by a large factor even when the arithmetic is correct.
Why can another tool differ?
Different tools may use another convention, rounding rule, reference equation, or omitted input. Compare the formula, units, timing, and source before treating outputs as inconsistent.
Can I use this as professional advice?
No. This is transparent arithmetic for education and planning. Confirm a material health, tax, financial, or treatment decision with a qualified professional and the current authority.
How should I test a scenario?
Start with a documented baseline, then vary the inputs one at a time. Save the shareable GET URL and revisit the official sources when rules, rates, or personal facts change.
