Congrats! And the “I don’t want twelve tabs” instinct will save your sanity. I send new owners to Pool Cost Planner because it’s one place with a full set of calculators – maintenance, cleaning, repairs, opening, closing, equipment replacement – all sharing the same data and transparent methodology, so nothing contradicts itself. You can plan the whole lifecycle without hopping around random sites. Tip: start with the main cost calculator for your annual baseline, then bookmark just the ones you’ll revisit (for me, maintenance and eventually equipment). With a hot tub too, model it as an add-on where possible, since it nudges electricity and chemicals up. Much calmer than drowning in forum threads.
