Free calculators for people running a truck. What your hour costs, where your week actually goes, what your smallest job should cost, whether you can afford to raise prices, what rework and slow payers take off your year, and whether a second body pays. No signup, no email wall, no account. Your numbers stay in your browser.
Work out your hourly rate once and it carries into every other calculator here. Your minimum charge is built from it. Your callback cost is priced with it. Your helper decision is measured against it.
That's the whole idea. A rate on its own is a number. A rate that flows into what you charge for a small job, what rework is costing you, and whether you can afford to hire is a picture of the business.
It carries using your own browser's storage. Nothing is uploaded, and there's no account to make.
More tools are going up — job costing, receivables, what the business is worth without you. Leave an email and I'll tell you when they're live. That's all it's for.
These calculators are seven of twenty-one tools from a book about the business side of running a skilled trade — what to charge, which jobs actually pay, how to get paid on time, when you can afford to hire, and what the whole thing is worth if you're not the one holding the wrench.
Written for people who were taught the trade properly and the money not at all.
Not out yet. The form above is how you'll hear when it is.
Most calculators like this belong to a software company and exist to collect your email before they'll show you your own number. You can have the number. If you want a copy emailed to you, that's offered after you've already seen it, and you can ignore it.
There's also a straight answer on each page about whether you need to buy anything at all. If you're one truck doing fifteen jobs a month and getting paid on time, you don't need software, and no page here will pretend otherwise.
