Service business calculator

Job pricing and profit margin calculator

Build a selling price from labor, materials, travel, subcontractors, overhead and the profit margin you need.

Service business pricing

Build a margin-safe job price from your real costs.

Useful for contractors, mobile services, consultants and other job-based businesses. Enter what the job actually costs you, then choose the margin you want.

Labor hours hrs Loaded labor cost $ / hr Materials $ Travel / equipment $ Subcontractors $ Other direct cost $ Overhead allocation $ Target margin % Current / proposed quote $ optional

Margin and markup are not the same thing.

This calculator uses target profit margin: target price = total job cost ÷ (1 − target margin). It also shows the equivalent markup on cost so you can compare the two without mixing them up.

Useful for many job-based businesses

Landscaping, cleaning, handyman work, mobile detailing, pressure washing, consulting, photography, field service and other businesses that price individual jobs.
