Get your pricing foundation right
Four tools, one hour, and you’ll know your real numbers better than most shops twice your size. Then price jobs with the per-trade calculators in your trade hub.
Contractor Markup & Margin Calculator
Convert between markup and margin, and price any job from its cost. 50% markup is only 33% margin — the confusion costs contractors real money.
Labor Burden Calculator
A $28/hr tech costs $40+/hr after taxes, comp, benefits, and unproductive time. Compute your real burdened labor rate before you bid another job.
Hourly Rate Calculator
Your hourly rate = (salary + overhead) ÷ billable hours ÷ (1 − profit). Compute it from your real numbers and compare against your trade's market range.
Overhead Recovery Calculator
Total your real annual overhead, spread it over your volume, and get the exact percentage (or per-hour figure) every job must carry before profit.
