Tree Removal Cost Calculator — Quick Ballpark
Tree removal pricing looks random to homeowners — and complicated to quote. It really comes down to three things: size, access, and condition. This calculator turns those into an honest range.
A 40-ft tree in an open yard is a different job than the same tree leaning over the house. The calculator prices both — and everything between.

How it's priced
Base = height × $14. Access: +20% near house/lines, +50% tight/crane. Condition: +15% average, +40% dead/leaning. Range runs roughly $350–$1,800.
Pro tips
- →Dead, leaning, or storm-damaged trees carry real liability — price the risk, not just the labor.
- →Crane work and tight access are where under-quoted removals lose money. Add, don't discount.
- →Quote stump grinding separately ($150–400) so the removal price stays competitive.
