Does that price cover the hours?

Type a job size and the price you had in mind. This tool estimates how many hours the job might take, then compares your price to a simplified cost floor. It is a quick sanity check, not a full bid.

How to read it

  1. Estimated hours is on-site work time from job size. Drive time is counted separately.
  2. Cost floor is a rough minimum to cover labor (including drive) plus your share of monthly overhead. Keep this number to yourself.
  3. If your price is below the floor, you may be undercharging before fuel, wear, dump fees, and materials are added.

Quote Desk adds soil, stories, fuel, wear, materials, and a customer PDF. This free page leaves those out on purpose.

What kind of job you are pricing. The size unit changes with the trade.
How big the job is. Example: 900 sq ft driveway, 120 linear ft of gutters, or 18 windows.
Used only to pick a rough local wage band. This is not a city bid and we do not store it.
The customer price you already had in mind before doing the math.
Minutes to drive from your shop or last stop to this property, one way. The floor counts round trip.
Fixed monthly bills split across jobs: insurance, phone, software, storage, and similar. Not fuel or materials for this one job.
How many paid jobs you think you will close. Overhead is divided by this number so each job carries a fair share.

This is a rough check, not a market bid or tax advice. Quote Desk adds the full worksheet, floor, target, and stretch prices.
