Pool Cost Calculator Methodology
Pool Cost Planner combines editable ranges with simple multipliers to produce low, typical, and high planning estimates.
Maintenance estimates
Maintenance pages use service frequency, pool size, pool type, state assumptions, season length, system type, and annual add-ons.
Repair and replacement estimates
Repair pages use a category range plus pool size, labor option, and urgency. The estimates include broad parts and labor allowances but not diagnosis.
Electricity estimates
The electricity calculator uses horsepower x 0.746 x hours per day x days per month, then multiplies by the electricity rate.
Comparison estimates
Comparison pages annualize recurring service cost and add supply or equipment allowances where relevant.
Important disclaimer: Estimates are for planning only and are not contractor quotes. Pool Cost Planner does not provide chemical handling, mixing, dosing, electrical, gas, structural, or repair instructions.
