How this works and common questions

About this tool

Labour is hours times your hourly rate. Overhead is a percent of materials plus labour. The selling price is raised so the fee percent you type is covered. A simple estimate, not advice. Nothing you type is stored or sent.

How it works

Hours times the hourly rate, half up to the cent, is labour. Overhead is that percent of materials plus labour, half up to the cent. The price is that subtotal divided by 1 minus the fee percent, half up to the cent. Materials $12.00, 2.5 hours at $20.00, 10% overhead, and a 6.50% fee is $72.94.

Rules

You type every percent. This page does not look up a marketplace fee. A fee of 100% or more is rejected. A simple estimate, not advice.
