Shop math before you send the price
These are shop checks, not tax, legal, or lending advice. A few pages link to scheduling or answering software. That link is marked, and the affiliate disclosure explains it. The directory itself is unchanged.
Job quote
Put in the hours, the drive, the materials, and what you want an hour to pay. The calculator returns a break-even price and a suggested quote with your profit goal.
Trip fee
Drive time and fuel disappear when they stay buried in the job price. This separates them into a trip fee you can show as its own line.
Missed calls
A missed call is not just a missed ring. If some of those calls would have booked, this is the job value sitting in voicemail this month.
Crew day rate
A day rate has to cover every person on the truck, the materials, and the overhead for that day — then leave the margin you picked.
Overhead per job
Rent, insurance, software, and the truck payment do not show up on the materials list. They still have to come out of the jobs you book.
Supply markup
Markup on the invoice cost is not the same as margin, and waste never makes it onto the customer’s receipt unless you put it there.
Job cost vs price
A price can look fine on the estimate and still pay less than the burdened hour. This puts the current quote next to cost and next to the margin you said you wanted.
Deposit risk
The deposit you keep is not the risk. The risk is the uncovered balance times the chance they never show.
Break-even price
Check a single service against the hourly pay you want. One price, not a whole menu.
Cash gap
Profit on paper still bounces a check if materials go out before the final payment comes in. This is a four-week sketch of that gap.
Change order
Scope that shows up after you start needs its own number before anyone keeps working. This prices the extra. It does not write the customer text.
Weekly capacity
A full calendar is not the same as a full week of paid hours. Drive time counts. This does not track which jobs are already booked.
