by Yoad Halm Digital

Quote, costs and margin

See the pieces before you send the quote.

A quote is not only one final price. Labour, materials, travel, tax, contingency, and margin all affect what the job may really leave behind.

Job Specifications

Fill in your cost components and targets to calculate the suggested quote price.

Optional. Presets only suggest starting values and examples. You can edit every number before using the result.

This calculator uses the numbers you enter. Presets are only starting examples. Check your own costs, time, overheads, tax/GST position, and scope before relying on any quote.

Build up the quote from line items

Optional. Add the parts of the job here, then apply the subtotals to the calculator. Everything stays in this browser.

Use the buckets that make sense for the job. If the same cost could fit in more than one place, enter it once only so it is not counted twice.

Paste rough quote items here, then review before applying. Nothing is sent anywhere.
