I built DIYCalcKit as a side project targeting US homeowners who constantly Google things like "how much paint do I need" or "how many bags of mulch" — and keep landing on cluttered, ad-heavy sites with vague answers.
What it is
24 free calculators covering paint, flooring, tile, concrete, gravel, soil, mulch, moving costs, and more. Each tool pairs with a detailed cost guide. No signup, no fluff, instant results.
Built with pure HTML/CSS/JS on GitHub Pages — no framework, no dependencies.
Current stats (2 weeks in)
25 active users / week
239 Google Search impressions
First organic click landed on the Square Footage Calculator
Wallpaper Calculator getting 159 impressions at position 81 — waiting for it to climb
What's next
Adding 1 new tool + 3 blog posts every Sunday based on weekly Search Console data. Currently targeting wallpaper and soil calculator clusters.
Monetization plan: AdSense first (just applied), then affiliate with Home Depot and Lowe's once traffic grows.
Check it out at https://diycalckit.com — feedback welcome, especially on the calculators themselves.
