How much does a house cost in Paralives?

There's no fixed price — it depends entirely on size and furnishing. A basic starter home runs around 20,000-40,000 Paradimes; a large luxe build can pass 150,000. Use the calculator above to estimate your specific layout.

Is this the exact in-game cost?

No. It's a planning estimate based on Early Access pricing. Real costs shift with the exact objects, Workshop items and decor you place. Treat it as a budget target, not a to-the-dime quote.

How do I get enough money to build?

Copy the SETMONEY cheat the calculator generates, or use the Money Builder tool for a goal-driven cheat sequence with backup tips. PIGGYBANK, MAKEITRAIN and JACKPOT are all achievement-safe.

How the estimate works

Paralives has no fixed build price, so this calculator uses Early Access build-mode pricing to give you a realistic planning number. Here's what feeds the total.

1
Layout drives structure cost
More bedrooms, bathrooms and floors mean more walls, roof and flooring. The calculator scales the structure line by total rooms across all floors.
2
Finish level multiplies furnishing
Basic, Comfort and Luxe apply a rising multiplier to kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living-room furnishing — the biggest swing factor in any Paralives build.
3
Lot and foundation are fixed-ish
Buying the lot plus raising a foundation per floor is a near-flat base cost, added before furnishing so the total reflects a move-in-ready home.
4
Fund it with one cheat
Copy the generated SETMONEY command, or open Money Builder for a goal-driven sequence. Both are achievement-safe and Mac-friendly.

Methodology & data sources

Applies to build 0.1.7c

Every number the calculator produces comes from the formulas below — no hidden fudge factors. Figures are community-measured build-mode prices in Early Access, re-checked each patch.

Line item	Formula (Paradimes)
Lot	`6,000 + floors × 2,500`
Structure	`(bedrooms + bathrooms + 2) × floors × 1,200`
Kitchen	`4,500 × finish multiplier`
Bedrooms	`bedrooms × 2,200 × finish multiplier`
Bathrooms	`bathrooms × 1,800 × finish multiplier`
Living room	`3,800 × finish multiplier`
Landscaping	`2,500 × finish multiplier`

Finish multipliers: Basic ×1.0, Comfort ×1.5, Luxe ×2.4. Total is the sum of all line items (landscaping optional).

Worked example — starter bungalow

2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 floor, Basic finish: lot 8,500 + structure 6,000 + kitchen 4,500 + bedrooms 4,400 + bathrooms 1,800 + living 3,800 = 29,000 Paradimes.

Worked example — family two-storey

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 floors, Comfort finish: lot 11,000 + structure 16,800 + kitchen 6,750 + bedrooms 9,900 + bathrooms 5,400 + living 5,700 = 55,550 Paradimes (plus 3,750 with landscaping).
