True-Cost Quote Generator

$67.00

Stop underpricing. Protect your profit margins.

The Problem: Most shops price jobs using "gut feel" or by slapping a flat 30% markup on materials and hoping it covers the bills. They completely ignore hidden overhead and the true, fully-burdened cost of their labor. The result? You win the bid, run the job, and when the dust settles, you realize you essentially paid the customer to do their work.

The Fix: The TrueCost Quote Generator is a mathematical pricing engine built to protect your bank account. It forces you to define your exact Labor Burden (wages + FICA + comp) and automatically allocates your fixed monthly overhead down to the billable hour. Once your baseline is set, simply plug in your job materials, labor hours, and your Target Margin percentage.

The Result: No more guessing. The engine instantly spits out your absolute Break-Even Cost (your "walk-away" price) and tells you the exact dollar amount to quote to hit your true profit target. It then auto-populates a clean, professional quote that you can PDF and send directly to your client.

What’s Inside:

  • Labor Burden Calculator: Finds the true hourly cost of every technician on your roster—because nobody actually costs you just their base wage.

  • Overhead Allocator: Distributes your rent, insurance, and equipment payments mathematically into every billable hour.

  • The Quote Engine: Enter materials, waste factor, pass-throughs, and labor to instantly calculate your Walk-Away Price and Target Quote Price.

  • Client-Ready Quote Form: Auto-generates a clean, professional, and printable quote summary.

  • Quote Pipeline Log: A one-click tracking log to manage every quote you send out the door.
