Use CalculatorHow These Tools Fit Together
Every estimate follows the same progression, whether you write it by hand or build it in software: figure out what a job actually costs you, decide how much markup or margin you need on top of that cost to run a profitable business, turn the result into a priced estimate, present it as a proposal the client can approve, and document any change orders if the scope shifts once work starts.
The six free resources above cover each step individually. The Employee Cost Calculator and the two pricing calculators handle the cost and markup/margin steps. The estimate, proposal, and change order templates handle the paperwork. Used together, they're enough to price and document a real job from start to finish — with no signup and no cost.
What they don't do is connect to each other. Each calculator result has to be copied by hand into the estimate template; each estimate has to be manually rebuilt into a proposal; a change order lives in its own document, disconnected from the estimate it's changing. That manual re-entry is exactly what QuickEstimate automates — the same labor cost, markup, and margin logic in these free tools, applied automatically across a live estimate, its proposal, and every change order, all as one connected record.
Ready to move beyond templates and spreadsheets?
These free tools work well for a single calculation or a one-off document. QuickEstimate applies the same overhead, markup, and margin logic automatically across every estimate, proposal, and change order you create — so nothing has to be copied by hand twice.
