Most one-person businesses price forward — materials plus a guessed hourly rate — and quietly work for less than minimum wage. Quote It Right prices the way a business actually runs: real hourly rate, materials, overhead, and the hours you can't bill.
No signup for the calculator or the quote builder. Accounts get 14 days of Pro free — no card required.
Assumes 70% of shop hours are billable and $3,000/yr of tools — both adjustable in the full calculator.
Add taxes and see the full breakdownEverything a one-person trade needs to price a job with confidence — and look like the professional business it is.
List your materials, parts, consumables, and labor hours. Add overhead and tax, and see the price at four profit levels before you send anything. Nothing gets left off the quote — no forgotten hardware, no scope gaps you eat later.
The fourth panel upgrade — or the fourth dining table — shouldn't take an hour to quote. Save a job as a template and start the next one already priced.
Send a branded PDF or a one-click approval link with photos — and collect the deposit right there. The client sees a professional business, not a number in a text message.
A $50/hr rate feels honest until you do the math. Take out self-employment tax, overhead, and the third of your week that isn't billable, and it can land under $30 of real take-home. The Pay Yourself Calculator works backward from the income you want — then shows you what your current rate is actually paying you.
The income you want the business to pay you.
Overhead, tool replacement, insurance, and taxes.
See the gap per hour — and what it adds up to over a year.
Takes about two minutes. Nothing to sign up for.
