Generator Budget turns eight project inputs—coverage, generator size, fuel, run distance, transfer switch, site conditions, state, and panel work—into itemized low, typical, and high installed-cost ranges. Unlike a simple equipment-price lookup, it separates generator equipment, electrical work, fuel connection, site prep, permits, and optional panel work. It is free, works without signup, and publishes its assumptions, source ledger, model version, and benchmark data in CSV and JSON.
Hi Product Hunt! Generator Budget grew out of a simple planning problem: homeowners can find generator prices, but installed project costs also depend on transfer equipment, fuel work, electrical work, site prep, permits, location, and panel upgrades. We built a free, no-signup calculator that separates those components and returns low, typical, and high planning ranges. The assumptions, source ledger, CSV/JSON data, and model version are public. I'd love feedback on which assumptions or project controls would make the estimate more useful before you request contractor bids.
