How this calculator works

The model compounds maintenance and repair allowances by the selected inflation rate. It is a planning model, not a prediction of component failure.

Do not order from this estimate. Confirm dimensions, materials, permits, electrical requirements, access and written prices with qualified local suppliers.

Improve your budget

  • Measure the available sign area and viewing distance
  • Photograph the surface and installation access
  • Check landlord and local approval requirements
