How this calculator works

Underpricing cleans burns time and gas. Build a visit price from labor, supplies, travel, and the margin you actually need. Cost = labor + supplies + travel; price = cost ÷ (1 − margin%/100). Example: 3 hrs × $45 ($135) + $12 supplies + $8 travel = $155 cost. At 25% margin, quote ≈ $206.67.

Cost = labor + supplies + travel; price = cost ÷ (1 − margin%/100).

Example: 3 hrs × $45 ($135) + $12 supplies + $8 travel = $155 cost. At 25% margin, quote ≈ $206.67.
