Most shops guess at prices and hope there's profit left over. These calculators work the other way: enter your real costs, decide your margin, and get a flat rate that's engineered to hit it — with a full breakdown of every dollar, so you always know why the price is the price.

The most expensive mistake in trade pricing is one line of arithmetic: multiplying cost by a markup instead of dividing by your margin.
A 20% markup on a $500 job gives you $600 — but only 16.7% of that price is profit. And card fees and warranty reserve haven't been paid yet. Do that on every job, all year, and a shop that thinks it's earning 20% is actually earning 12% or less.
Every calculator on this site divides your total cost by (1 − margin − card fee − reserve). It's the difference between hoping for profit and engineering it.
These tools were built by a working-class shop owner — me, Jonathan. I priced jobs wrong for a long, long while, and I was slowly going broke without realizing it. Then I fixed the math, turned the fix into calculators, and put them online for free, for all tradespeople and business owners to use. The goal is simple: become the most trusted job pricing resource on the internet.
So there are no ads, no accounts, and no email walls. The numbers you type into the calculators are processed right in your browser — we never see them. We use basic analytics to understand traffic; our privacy policy spells out exactly what that means, in plain English (and Español). If these help you price better, PLEASE tell another business owner — that's the whole business model for now. Helping one another do better.
Estimates only: results are based on the numbers you enter and average U.S. costs. We work hard to keep the math and defaults accurate, but labor rates, material prices, taxes, and regulations vary by location — always verify your own numbers before setting your prices.
