How this electrical estimating calculator works

Start with a sample job or add your own materials and labor. The calculator combines direct costs with overhead, contingency, travel and permits, then applies a target margin. A separate material markup can increase the selling-price basis. Customer discounts and taxes are applied afterward.

Example: EV charger installation

The EV charger preset provides editable example materials and labor hours. These are not live prices and should not be used as an automatic quote without checking the site conditions, applicable codes, supplier prices and labor requirements.

Margin versus markup

A 25% target margin is not a 25% markup. To achieve a 25% margin before discounts, divide the billable cost basis by 0.75. For example, a $1,500 cost basis becomes a $2,000 price before discount and tax.

Frequently asked questions

Is this calculator free?

Yes. You can estimate costs, prepare a customer quote, export a CSV and print a PDF without creating an account.

Are the preset costs accurate for my location?

No. The presets are editable examples. Prices, wages, permit fees and tax rules vary by location and project.

Does the quote show my profit margin?

No. The customer-facing quote hides internal costs, markup settings and profit analysis.

Can I save an estimate?

Yes. Save it in the current browser or copy a share link. Browser storage may be cleared by your device or browser settings.
