Job Cost / Service Price Calculator
Multi-row labor and materials editor with overhead methods (fixed, % of labor, % of total), waste, contingency, and a margin-or-markup recommended price.
How this is calculated
Each labor row is hours × loaded rate; each materials
row is qty × unit price, and the materials subtotal is
multiplied by 1 + waste%. Overhead is added per the
method you pick (fixed dollars, % of labor, or % of direct cost).
laborCost = Σ hours × rate
materialsCost = Σ qty × unitPrice × (1 + waste%)
overhead = per method (fixed | %labor | %total)
directCost = labor + materials + overhead
totalCost = directCost × (1 + contingency%)
price (margin)= totalCost / (1 − margin)
price (markup)= totalCost × (1 + markup)Margin and markup answer different questions and we always show both. A 30% margin equals a ~42.86% markup; a 30% markup equals a ~23.08% margin.
Tax is excluded from the recommended price — verify local tax, licensing, and contract terms before quoting a customer.
