Your building
Six numbers. Everything recomputes as you type.
We build a starter register from your building’s age, type and size, then project the fund 15 years. Indicative only — a real plan uses your actual register.

Questions
- Is it really free?
- Yes — no login, no email. Enter six numbers and read the answer.
- How accurate is it?
- It's an indicative first read. It builds a starter register from your building's age, type and size, then runs Plinth's real forecasting engine. A formal plan uses your building's own register, genuine quotes and a condition assessment.
- What is the recommended levy?
- The flat annual contribution that keeps the fund above its safety floor in every year of the projection — the levy that avoids a special levy later.
- Does it work in NSW, VIC and QLD?
- Yes. Only the name changes — capital works fund in NSW, maintenance fund in VIC, sinking fund in QLD. The maths is the same.
The calculator is a snapshot. The plan is the thing that stays true — with your real register, your documents and your renewals.
