Stair-lift cost planner
Check your project against three dated seller prices: a new Bruno Elan SRE-5000 Standard installed in New Jersey, or a pre-owned Acorn 130 or reconditioned Acorn 180 curved lift installed in Florida. The tool keeps each place, condition and configuration separate and returns a quote checklist for anything else. It does not measure your stairs or certify fit.
Review a published installed price for a matching place, condition and configuration. Results do not approve funding or confirm that equipment fits your home.

How this tool works
The calculator matches your state, condition, staircase shape, setting and options to one price record: New Jersey, new, straight, indoors, manual options for the Elan; Florida, used, straight, indoors for the Acorn 130; Florida, used, curved, indoors, manual options for the Acorn 180. A match displays that seller’s published amount with its scope and read date. Stair counts and turns are recorded for the conversation and never change the amount, because no source supplies a per-step or per-turn coefficient. Rentals, outdoor rails, powered options and other states have no matching record and return the checklist. A record older than its freshness budget on your planning date also returns the checklist instead of a price. Nothing is subtracted for any program or benefit.
Read the source and price methods before using a result to plan a purchase.
Common questions
Why does my location return a quote checklist?
The dataset covers selected configurations in New Jersey and Florida only. We do not transfer a seller price to another state or infer a local premium.
Does adding stairs automatically increase the estimate?
No. We have no verified per-step or per-turn coefficient, so the tool only displays a matching published price or a quote checklist.
Can I compare a used price with a new lift?
Keep condition separate when comparing quotes. A used Acorn price in Florida does not estimate a new Acorn lift or a Bruno lift. Confirm the exact unit, rail, work and warranty with the seller.
For general planning. Confirm program rules with the administering agency or your plan, and installation details with a qualified professional. This site does not determine benefits or medical suitability.
