Price with more context
A $200 job is not necessarily a good $200 job.
Time, labor, product cost, travel, overhead and discounts all affect what remains after the work is finished.
Enter your labor hours, hourly target, workers, materials, overhead, travel, margin, discount and tax.
The calculator returns an estimated job cost, recommended customer price, gross profit and effective hourly revenue.
Enter round-trip distance, MPG, fuel price, drive time, hourly target, parking, tolls and other travel costs.
Use the result to decide whether travel should be included, charged separately or quoted differently.
These calculators are planning tools, not accounting or tax software.
See the business, not just the job
The Customer & Jobs Tracker gives you a lightweight operating view without forcing you into a full CRM.
Track customers, jobs, quoted and final prices, deposits, payments, balances and job status.
