How this calculator works

Build a profitable HVAC service call quote. Planning estimates only — verify measurements and local codes on site. Cost = labor + travel + parts; price = cost ÷ (1 − margin%). Example: 1.5 hrs × $85 + $25 travel + $40 parts, 25% margin → ~$198 call price.

Cost = labor + travel + parts; price = cost ÷ (1 − margin%).
