Job cost calculator for contractors

Stack direct job costs and optional contingency into one internal estimate — before you decide what to charge the customer.

— Enter cost categories and contingency.

  • Labor $1,200 + materials $800 + equipment $150 + subs $500 + other $100 = $2,750
  • 10% contingency → $275
  • Estimated job cost → $3,025

Internal USD estimate. Does not invent taxes, permits, or insurance. Not a binding quote or selling price.

Subtotal = labor+materials+equipment+subs+other. Contingency = subtotal×%. Total job cost = subtotal+contingency. Example: $1,200+$800+$150+$500+$100 with 10% contingency → $2,750 + $275 = $3,025. Not a selling price.
