What every wind load calculator plan includes

One subscription, the full ASCE 7-22 workflow — from a street address to a permit-ready report.

Wind speed by ZIP code

Pre-verified ASCE 7-22 basic wind speeds for every U.S. ZIP code, with Florida Building Code overrides for Miami-Dade, Broward, and Collier applied automatically — no manual map reading.

Multi-component schedules

Calculate components & cladding design pressures for an unlimited number of windows, doors, and shutters in one schedule — all four Risk Categories and all four enclosure types, no daily cap like the free tool.

Permit-ready reports + Excel

Export a permit-ready Engineering Report or an Architectural Schedule as a real Excel (.xlsx) file for AutoCAD drop-in, plus PDF, print, and CSV. (PE sign-and-seal is a separate service, available for Florida projects on request.)

Why wind load calculations matter

Professional wind load analysis protects lives, ensures code compliance, and optimizes engineering efficiency on every project.

Safety & structural integrity

Accurate wind load calculations ensure buildings withstand high winds, hurricanes, and severe weather — protecting lives and property while meeting building codes.

  • Resist extreme wind forces & prevent failures
  • Protect occupants & neighboring property
  • Minimize liability for engineers and owners

ASCE 7-22 compliance

Our calculators implement ASCE 7-22 with precision, so your output is code-compliant from residential to complex commercial work — with Florida overrides built in.

  • Meet building codes & permitting requirements
  • Latest ASCE 7-22 calculation methods
  • Permit-ready documentation for approvals

Engineering efficiency

Enter an address, get code-correct design pressures and a permit-ready report in minutes — components & cladding, MWFRS, and roofs in one workflow, no spreadsheets.

  • Address → wind speed → pressures in minutes
  • Real Excel (.xlsx) export for AutoCAD drop-in
  • Multi-component schedules & reports

Pricing FAQ

How much does a wind load calculator subscription cost?

Plans start at $35/month (Starter), with Pro at $59/month and Premium at $149/month. Annual billing saves about 20%. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial — no credit card required.

Which ASCE edition do the calculators use?

ASCE 7-22 (current edition, adopted by the 2024 IBC). Florida projects get Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023) jurisdictional overrides applied automatically.

Is there a free version?

Yes — the free wind load calculator returns the ASCE 7-22 design pressure for a single wall component by ZIP code, no signup. For multi-component schedules, Excel export, and permit-ready reports you need a paid subscription.

Are Florida HVHZ and Miami-Dade overrides included?

Yes. Florida High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) and county overrides such as Miami-Dade (175 mph), Broward, and Collier are built in and applied automatically per Florida Building Code R301.2(7).

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — subscriptions are month-to-month (or annual) and can be cancelled anytime from your account. Your trial data and projects are saved.
