Labor burden calculator

Start here. Wage + taxes + insurance + misc — the loaded rate the other tools use.

Job margin calculator

Bid, materials, hours, burdened rate. Margin $ and % on one card.

Markup vs margin

Markup is on cost. Margin is on the bid. Same job, two different percents.

What should I charge per hour

Burdened rate ÷ (1 − target margin) = the hourly number to put on the bid.

Estimate vs actual template

Line-item estimate, actual, and variance. Printable. CSV if you want a copy.

Typical margins by trade

EXAMPLE ranges by trade. A check, not a promise, and not a bid from past jobs.
