Price any repair or service job in seconds — add up materials and labor, apply your markup, and see the total cost, the price to quote, and your profit.
Markup is added on top of your total cost to cover overhead and profit. 20–50% is common for repair and service work.
Quoting a job by guesswork is how repair and service shops lose money. Every job has two real costs — the parts and materials you buy, and the labor time you spend — and a price that only covers those two numbers leaves nothing for overhead or profit. This job cost calculator adds materials to labor (hours × your hourly rate), then applies the markup you set, so the number you quote actually pays you.
Enter your materials cost, the labor hours you expect, and your hourly rate. Add a markup percentage — the amount you add on top of your total cost to cover overhead and profit. The calculator instantly shows your labor cost, your total job cost, the price to quote the customer, your profit in dollars, and the profit margin that price represents. Everything recalculates as you type, so you can test a higher hourly rate or a leaner markup before you send anything.
A worked example: $150 in parts, 4 labor hours at $75/hour, and a 25% markup. Labor is $300, so the total cost is $450. A 25% markup adds $112.50, giving a quote price of $562.50 and $112.50 of profit — a 20% margin (markup and margin are not the same number, which trips up a lot of owners). Nudge the markup to 40% and the same job quotes at $630 with $180 of profit.
StandupCRM turns a costed job like this into a quote, tracks whether it was accepted, and rolls it into the customer record — so you can see which jobs and which customers are actually profitable over time. This free calculator is the fast, no-login version for pricing a single job before you send the quote.
Add your materials cost to your labor cost, where labor cost is the hours worked multiplied by your hourly rate. That total is your job cost before markup. Enter the numbers above and this tool does it instantly.
Start from your true job cost (materials + labor), then add a markup to cover overhead and profit — many service and repair shops use 20–50%. This calculator shows the quote price and profit for any markup you enter.
There is no single right number, but 20–50% over total cost is common for service and repair work, with parts often marked up more than labor. Test a few markups above and check the resulting profit margin.
Markup is the amount added on top of your cost; margin is that profit as a percentage of the final price. A 25% markup on a $450 cost is a $562.50 price — but only a 20% margin. This tool shows both.
