Free operator toolkit
Free estate sale calculators
Two numbers every new estate sale operator needs before they commit: what it costs to open, and what one sale actually leaves you after the family is paid. Both run in the browser, both are free, and neither asks for an email to show you the result.

Both calculators also sit inside the chapters that explain the numbers behind them, in the free playbook on how to start an estate sale business. The chapters carry the trade context; these pages carry just the tool. How the figures are sourced is on our editorial standards page.
When the sale is real, not a spreadsheet
TagLot is the back office for estate-sale and senior-move companies — photograph a whole house offline, review the drafted catalog, print QR labels, and hand the family a settlement they can read. Free is one full sale, no card and no countdown. Your money lands in your own accounts — never in a TagLot balance.
