Quick answer
Annual fee per home = total annual budget ÷ number of homes. For monthly billing, divide by 12; quarterly, divide by 4. Example: $120,000 budget ÷ 50 homes = $2,400/yr per home → $200/mo or $600/quarter. Add an optional reserve line if it is not already in your budget total. This is a planning estimate — your adopted budget and CC&Rs control actual assessments.
Operating expenses for the year — landscaping, insurance, utilities, admin, etc.
Leave at $0 if reserve is already included in your budget total.

With a $120,000.00 annual budget and 50 homes, each owner pays about $200.00 per monthly bill — roughly $200.00/mo. This is a planning estimate, not an invoice.
Once your board approves the budget, KindHOA lets volunteer treasurers publish assessments, collect online dues, and ledger payments — Good Neighbor is $0 forever; Board Automation adds recurring billing and automated late fees for $29/mo.
Collect dues, track violations, and run your board — free on the Good Neighbor plan.
Start KindHOA1. Enter your total annual budget — operating expenses for the year.
2. Add an optional reserve contribution if it is not already included in that total.
3. Enter number of homes and choose billing frequency (monthly, quarterly, or annual).
4. Review the per-home fee, monthly equivalent, and annual amount — then build the full budget line-by-line with the budget estimator or model reserves with the reserve calculator.
An HOA fee calculator estimates how much each homeowner pays based on the association's total annual budget and the number of homes. You enter the budget (operating plus optional reserve), unit count, and billing frequency — monthly, quarterly, or annual — and the tool divides the total evenly per home. It is a planning tool for boards setting next year's assessments, not a billing invoice.
Annual fee per home = total annual budget ÷ number of homes. For monthly billing, divide that by 12; for quarterly, divide by 4. Example: $120,000 budget ÷ 50 homes = $2,400 per home per year, or $200 per month. If you bill quarterly, each owner pays $600 per quarter.
This HOA fee calculator starts with a single total budget number and gives you the per-home fee quickly. The budget estimator at kindhoa.com/tools/budget-estimator lets you build the budget line-by-line (landscaping, insurance, reserves, etc.) and then calculates dues — better when you are drafting the budget from scratch.
This tool estimates regular HOA fees (assessments) from your approved budget. The late fee calculator at kindhoa.com/tools/late-fee-calculator estimates the maximum penalty for paying those assessments after the due date — a completely different charge governed by statute and your documents.
No. This is a planning estimate for volunteer treasurers and boards. Your actual assessment notice must match the budget your board adopted, any special allocations in your CC&Rs (weighted votes, square footage, etc.), and your published billing schedule.
No. KindHOA (kindhoa.com, Est. 2025) is HOA management software for volunteer boards — dues, elections, documents, and community operations. KindHealth is a separate product. This calculator is published by KindHOA only.
