Terms of service

What you can and can't do with Calc My Project, and what we promise (and don't) in return.

EFFECTIVE JAN 1, 2026 LAST REVIEW MAY 16, 2026 VERSION 3.1

1 · What this site is

Calc My Project is a set of free, public construction cost estimators, plus a paid Pro tier for contractors and a free contractor-matching service for homeowners. By using any of it, you agree to these terms.

2 · Acceptable use

You can use the public calculators all you want — for personal projects, for educating clients, for sanity-checking bids you're writing. You can quote our numbers in your own work as long as you don't claim to be us.

You can't:

  • Scrape the site at scale or rebuild it from our pricing data
  • Misrepresent our estimates as quotes from a specific contractor
  • Use the matching service to spam contractors with fake jobs
  • Reverse-engineer the Pro tier to skip subscription fees

3 · Estimates aren't quotes

Every estimate on Calc My Project is an educated guess based on national or regional pricing averages. It is not a binding quote. A real quote comes from a licensed contractor who has inspected your specific project.

Use our numbers as a sanity check — bids that fall more than ±20% from our range deserve a second look — but don't make a financial decision based only on what the calculator shows.

4 · Pro accounts & billing

  • Trial: 30 days, no card. Cancel anytime — the account drops to the free public tier.
  • Subscription: billed monthly or annually via Stripe. Cancel from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at end of the current period.
  • Refunds: we'll refund the most recent payment within 14 days if you ask, no questions.
  • Price changes: we'll give 60 days' notice for any subscription price change.

5 · Get Matched service

Matching is free for homeowners. We verify each matched contractor's license and insurance at the time of match, but we are not a party to the work that's done — that contract is strictly between you and the contractor you choose.

We are not liable for the quality, timeliness, or pricing of work performed by a matched contractor. Always check current license status, check references, and put your agreement in writing.

6 · Intellectual property

The site, the calculators, the layouts, and our brand are ours. The pricing data is sourced from third-party publishers and used under fair-use aggregation for the purpose of cost education.

Anything you put into the site (estimate names, customer info, custom rates) stays yours. You give us only the right to host and display it back to you.

7 · Disclaimer of warranty

The site is provided "as is." We try hard to keep pricing current and accurate, but we don't guarantee any specific level of accuracy, availability, or fitness for a particular project.

8 · Limitation of liability

To the extent allowed by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from this site is limited to (a) the amount you paid us in the last 12 months, or (b) USD $100, whichever is larger. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages — including budget overruns on a project estimated through the site.

9 · Changes & termination

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced on the site at least 30 days before they take effect. We can suspend accounts that violate these terms, with notice and an opportunity to cure when reasonable.

10 · Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware.
