Free pricing calculators for contractors
Four worksheets that answer the questions gut-feel pricing can't. Nothing to sign up for, nothing leaves your phone.
- Markup vs margin calculator
Convert one to the other, see what your usual markup really earns, and find the markup you need for a target margin.
- Loaded labour rate calculator
What an hour of your crew actually costs once burden, allowances and unbillable time are counted.
- Overhead per billable hour calculator
Turn monthly overhead into the dollar figure every quoted hour has to carry.
- Hourly rate calculator
Put the three numbers together and get your break-even floor and the rate you should be charging.
Use them in this order
Labour cost first, then overhead, then the rate. The markup calculator is the sanity check you run afterwards on a job you already quoted — it's the one that usually changes people's minds.
