MAO Calculator

Calculate maximum allowable offer using 65%, 70%, or custom rules — see all three side by side.

How the MAO Calculator Works

Enter your After Repair Value and estimated repair costs. The calculator instantly shows your Maximum Allowable Offer using three different rules, so you can choose the right level of conservatism for each deal.

  • 65% Rule — conservative approach for tighter markets
  • 70% Rule — standard wholesaler benchmark used nationwide
  • Custom % — set your own margin for unique situations
  • All three calculated simultaneously for easy comparison

Why MAO Matters for Wholesalers

Your Maximum Allowable Offer is the ceiling — the most you can pay and still leave room for your assignment fee and the end buyer's profit. Overpay by even 5% and the deal falls apart.

  • Avoid overpaying by knowing your ceiling before negotiating
  • Compare your contract price against the MAO instantly
  • See exactly how much room you have for your assignment fee
