Field service job quote estimator

✔ Last verified 2026-10-22✔ Prices linked to vendor sources✔ Our methodologyAffiliate disclosure

Build a job quote from your own labor, materials, travel and overhead numbers, then set a target profit margin. Runs entirely in your browser. The starting values are placeholders, not industry averages.

Margin is not the same as markup: a 20% margin means profit is 20% of the final price (price = cost ÷ (1 − margin)). Formula: cost = labor + materials (with markup and tax) + travel + overhead. Check your own vehicle cost per mile; the default is a placeholder. Need software that turns quotes into jobs? See Jobber vs Housecall Pro.

FAQ

What's the difference between margin and markup?

Markup is profit as a percentage of cost; margin is profit as a percentage of price. Pricing a $100 cost at a 20% margin gives $125, which is a 25% markup.

Does this estimator use industry rates?

No. The starting values are placeholders. Enter your own labor cost, vehicle cost and margin.
