Price mowing, cleanups and installs from your real costs - crew, materials, overhead, break-even and the quote. Free, no signup.
Send the result to yourself along with the free Job Pricing Starter — the same maths as a spreadsheet you can keep, in Excel or Google Sheets. No card, no trial.
No black box. Five steps, in order — check every one of them against your own job.
Per service: crew hours, equipment, marked-up materials, overhead, break-even and price. This page does one job at a time and forgets it. The spreadsheet keeps every job, works offline in Excel and Google Sheets, and is a one-time purchase.
See the Landscaping & Lawn Care Estimate Calculator →Crew-hours at your loaded rate, plus materials, plus overhead gives your break-even. Divide by one minus your target margin for the price. Equipment is not free - fuel, blades, maintenance and the mower's replacement cost all belong in your overhead percentage.
Price the visit from cost, then multiply out. Drive time between properties is crew-hours you pay for and usually do not bill, so include it above or your route quietly runs at break-even.
Yes - handling, hauling and the risk of a bad plant are real costs. But apply it as margin on the finished price, not as a markup on the material cost, or you keep less than you think.
Then it is worth twenty minutes. I am not a contractor — I do the arithmetic. On the call you tell me how you price now, and at the end I tell you honestly whether a model built on your numbers would help you or whether this calculator is already enough. Both answers happen.
