Include burden if you want it included; this is cost, not the final selling rate.

Applies once per visit; enter zero if none.

Fixed allowance once per visit; avoid double counting labor burden.

Added on top of the entire entered base, including allowances. This is markup on cost, not margin on the selling price.

Show the math

Estimates use unrounded numbers. Displayed amounts round to cents.

What this means

The area and production rate estimate worker-hours. Per-visit costs and markup give a price, then visit count gives the planning-period total.

Worked example

10,000 ft² at an illustrative 2,500 ft²/worker-hour needs 4 worker-hours. At $25/hour plus $15 supplies and $20 overhead, cost is $135. A 25% markup gives $168.75/visit and $2,025 for 12 visits.

How the math works

Hours/visit = area ÷ ft² per worker-hour. Cost/visit = hours × labor cost/hour + supplies + overhead. Price = cost × (1 + markup/100). Period total = price × visits.

About this estimate

Rates vary by scope, surfaces, access and site conditions. All inputs are editable illustrations. No tax, minimum charge or separate subcontractor cost is inferred. Period total uses unrounded per-visit math; this estimator is not a replacement for quote.
