Find out what that job actually pays you.
Put in the hours, the crew, the materials and the number you were about to quote. This returns your real rate per hour once drive time and overhead land, and tells you whether the month has room for it.
The job in front of you
Estimates are fine. The check tells you which side of break even you are on, and that answer rarely flips because a figure was off by ten percent.
Your pricing check appears here
Fill in the job on the left and run it. You will get your real rate per hour, the true cost of the job, the break even quote, the number that hits your margin, and a read on whether the month has the hours.
What Devin would do with this one
Twenty minutes, no obligation. Bring a job you are unsure about.
It charges you for the drive
The single most common leak in a trade business. You pay the crew from the yard, not from the driveway, so a long round trip on a multi day job is real paid labour that never shows up on the quote.
It makes overhead land on the job
Insurance, trucks and the phone get paid whether or not this job happens. Spreading that across the jobs you genuinely finish in a month is the difference between a job that looks profitable and one that is.
It reads your capacity, not just your price
A job can price well and still be wrong, because it eats the month. The check compares the paid hours this one consumes against the hours your crew actually has.
About your numbers
Everything here is calculated in your browser. Nothing is transmitted, stored, or added to a list, and closing the tab erases it. If you want Devin to look at a job with you, you bring the numbers to the call yourself.
Why this exists
Busy and broke is a pricing problem.
Every trade business Devin has sat down with that was working flat out and still tight on cash had the same thing going on. The jobs were priced off a gut number that made sense three years ago, and nobody had run one all the way through to what it pays per hour.
This will not tell you how to have the conversation when the number goes up, or how to walk away from work you have always taken. That part is the job. But it will stop you taking a fourth year of the same jobs at the same price and wondering where the money went.
Price the next one on purpose.
Twenty minutes on the phone. Bring a job you won and a job you lost, and we will find out which one was the mistake.
