First-year backyard systems budget allocator

Set a year-one DIY budget in USD. Toggle systems on, allocate dollars across chickens, rain catchment, hybrid/backup power, cold frames, compost, and seed-starting. You get honest starter ranges pulled from the spirit of Altair’s existing estimators, plus warnings when the plan is miracle-thin or stacked on one vanity project. No account. No email. Runs in your browser.

Not another single-system cost clone. Deepen any line with the matching estimator: coop, rain, power, cold frame, compost, seed. Numbers are typical U.S. DIY / farm-store / big-box street ranges (2024–2026); your permits, scrounge luck, and local prices will move them.
