Free Helical Pile Tools & Calculators

Calculators and reference charts for homeowners, contractors and engineers: cost, pier count and spacing, torque to capacity and unit conversion.

Reference library

Charts, code references and directories the tools are built on. Every figure on these pages links to its source.

Why these tools are free

Helical Pile USA is an independent directory of helical pile installers, manufacturers and suppliers across the U.S. and Canada. The tools are paid for by advertising from companies in the industry, never by the people using them. Results are planning estimates; a licensed engineer and installer set the final design.

Frequently asked questions

Are the calculators free?

Yes. All tools are free to use with no sign-up. They are supported by advertising from industry companies.

Can I use the results for a permit?

No. The tools give planning estimates. Permits need a design from a licensed engineer or the installer, backed by an evaluation report or load tests.

Where do the numbers come from?

From published prices, ICC-ES AC358, the IBC and IRC, and manufacturer technical documents. Each tool lists its sources.
