How the calculators work
Every trade calculator uses the same simple formula:
Rough total = size × (material cost + labor cost per unit) × (1 + markup %)
- Enter the size: an area, a length, or a count such as windows or doors.
- Enter your material cost per unit.
- Enter your labor cost per unit.
- Enter your markup.

A worked example
Example numbers only. Prices vary by region; always check local costs.
- Roof area: 1,800 sq ft
- Material: $2.50 per sq ft
- Labor: $2.00 per sq ft
- Markup: 20%
- 1,800 × ($2.50 + $2.00) = $8,100, × 1.20 = $9,720 before tax

Business calculators
- Markup vs margin calculator: turn your markup into your real margin and see the price to charge. A 25% markup is only a 20% margin. Read markup vs margin explained.
- Contractor hourly rate calculator: the pay you want, your yearly costs, your billable hours and your profit give the rate to charge. Read how to price a job.
What a rough calculator leaves out
A per-unit calculator is a sanity check, not a full quote. It does not know about:
- Waste, unless you build it into your material cost.
- Tear-off, disposal, permits, rentals, delivery and travel.
- Hard access, steep pitch, old damage or other site conditions.
- Your overhead, unless you build it into your markup.
- Sales tax.
Add these as their own lines on your real quote. See how to write a contractor quote.
Getting your per-unit costs right
- Material per unit: total material cost on a past job ÷ the size of that job. Use current supplier prices.
- Labor per unit: your crew's full cost per hour ÷ how many units they finish per hour. Use your own past jobs, not a number from the internet.
- Markup: enough to cover overhead and profit. Check it with the markup vs margin calculator.
From a rough number to a real quote
When you are ready to send a real quote, Vorkeon builds the full version from one sentence: materials with waste, crew time from your own pace, prices from your list or store websites, your overhead, profit and sales tax, and a PDF with your logo that the customer signs on their phone. Every new business gets 14 days of the Crew plan free with no card, then moves to the Free plan by itself, which keeps manual quotes and customer PDFs. Open the web app.

Questions
Are the quote calculators free?
Yes. All of them are free, need no sign-up, and run in your browser. Nothing you type is saved or sent.
How accurate is a quote calculator?
It is only as good as the per-unit costs and markup you enter, and it leaves out job-specific lines such as disposal, permits and site conditions. Use it to check a quote, not as the quote.
Which trades have a calculator?
Roofing, decks, fences, painting, flooring, drywall, tile, concrete, paving, siding, gutters, insulation, landscaping, windows, HVAC, bathroom, kitchen and basement remodels, carpet, trim, sod, retaining walls, demolition, pressure washing, doors, garage doors and epoxy floors.
Do the calculators work in metric?
The web calculators use feet. Inside the Vorkeon app, units (feet or meters) and currency come from the country you pick for your business.
Can I get a full quote instead of a rough number?
Yes. Vorkeon builds a full, itemized quote from a one-sentence job description, with your own rates and sales tax, on its paid plans and during the 14-day free trial.
