## What is Contractor Calc?

Never underbid a job or leave money on the table again.

Standing in a customer's driveway trying to estimate labor hours, material costs, and markup in your head is stressful — and a small math mistake can easily wipe out your entire profit. 

Contractor Calc: Job Estimate is the fast, professional bidding calculator built specifically for independent contractors, handymen, painters, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, and residential remodelers.

Enter your hours, materials, and target margin — and get an exact, profitable bid in under 30 seconds.

WHAT YOU CAN CALCULATE IN SECONDS:
• Labor & Crew Costs: Calculate owner hours, helper/crew wages, and travel time with custom hourly or daily rates.
• Materials & Markup: Itemize materials or input lump sums, applying your custom markup percentage (10%–50%+) so you never pay retail out of pocket.
• Overhead Cushion: Allocate real business overhead (vehicle gas, wear & tear, liability insurance, tool replacement) into every quote.
• True Profit Margin vs. Markup: Prevent costly confusion between markup and profit margin — see your exact dollar take-home and gross margin percentage.
• Break-Even Analysis: Instantly know the absolute minimum price needed to cover all direct costs before negotiating.
• Sales Tax & Surcharges: Toggle tax on materials or entire bids based on your local state/province tax rules.

1-TAP TEXT & SMS QUOTE GENERATOR:
Turn your calculations into a polite, professional message formatted and ready to send via SMS, WhatsApp, or email directly to the homeowner before you even leave their driveway.

PRO FEATURES (UNLOCKED WITH LIFETIME ACCESS):
•  Good / Better / Best Multi-Tier Bidding: Automatically generate 3-tier bid options (Standard, Deluxe, Premium) to give clients choices and raise your average ticket size.
•  Reverse Profit Target Mode: Set your desired in-pocket profit (e.g., "$1,200 net on this 3-day job") and let the app solve for the required customer bid.
• True Overhead Rate Wizard: Calculate your exact hourly overhead cost by entering your monthly fixed expenses (truck, insurance, tools, phone).
• 1-Page Clean PDF Estimates: Export branded, professional PDF estimates complete with your company name, terms, and signature line.
•  Unlimited Saved Bids & Win/Loss Tracker: Track estimates by status (Draft, Sent, Won, Lost) to monitor your close rate and revenue over time.

PRIVACY & NO MONTHLY HASSLE:
• 100% Offline-Capable: No internet connection needed on the job site. All data stays secure on your phone.
• No Bloated CRM: No mandatory monthly $80 subscriptions, complex desktop setups, or customer management bloat. Just fast, precision math when you need it.

Disclaimer: Calculations and estimates are for educational and job planning purposes. Always verify local tax requirements, material price volatility, and contractual terms before signing client agreements.
