Say you recently purchased your house for $450,000, and you're remodeling your kitchen. Your estimate from the contractor for the project is $50,000. To estimate your home value with improvements, a renovation value calculator will use this formula: Your estimated ARV would be: $450,000 + (70% x $50,000) = $485,000.

Is my ex husband entitled to the down payment money he put into our house?
If you used funds from marital assets to pay for the home, your spouse will be entitled to a portion of it. To be fair, the courts will likely look at the percentage each spouse contributed to the home's equity and divide it accordingly during the divorce process.
