Why this matters

The price you quote is not what you keep

A lawn mowing job at $55 £26 $55 $75 sounds like good money for an hour of work. Then the fuel, the unpaid drive and the tax bill come out. What is left per hour is the number that decides whether the work is worth doing.

Every calculator on this site shows both: the going rate customers will pay, and what that rate really pays you. If the second number is too low, you will know before you say yes to the job.

How the numbers are made

No guesswork, and nothing hidden

We read the price guides

For each job we collect current published prices in all four countries, from trade platforms and industry cost guides. Every guide lists its sources.

We build one pricing model

A base fee plus a rate for the size of the job, tuned until it matches what those sources report. The price list, the examples and the calculator all run on it, so they always agree.

You check it against your costs

Enter your own time, driving and supplies. The calculator tells you what the going rate pays you per hour, and the lowest price you should accept.
