Seller's description

Most service owners set prices by dividing the pay they want by the hours they work. That misses three things: the hours you are not paid for (driving, quoting, invoicing), the business costs that keep running every month, and self-employment tax. In the example inside, that guess says $24 an hour. The real break-even is $54.80.

This calculator is built for time-based service work, not products. Set it up once in about 10 minutes, then price any job in seconds.

WHAT IT DOES
- Finds your break-even and target rate per paid hour, with unpaid hours, monthly costs and self-employment tax included
- Quotes any job: pick it from a dropdown, adjust for this customer, and get a price rounded up to the next $5, the deposit to collect and the profit inside it
- Adds drive time and vehicle cost to every quote, the two costs most quotes leave out
- Prices every job type at once on a printable price sheet
- Tracks finished jobs and flags the ones below your floor
- Checks your current price: enter it and see if it covers your pay goal and costs

BUILT FROM WHAT BUYERS OF OTHER CALCULATORS ASKED FOR
- Everything is in the download. No survey, no sign-up, no outside link, no extra service to buy
- Made for service businesses: 20 example jobs across 7 trades (house cleaning, mobile auto detailing, lawn care, photography, hair and salon, handyman, pressure washing), plus 20 empty rows for your own

WHAT'S INSIDE
- Service-Pricing-Calculator.xlsx with 5 working tabs: Your Numbers, Trade Presets, Quote Builder, Price Sheet, Job Tracker
- 2-page Start Here guide (PDF)
- License and disclaimer

FORMATS
Works in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets (upload the file to Google Sheets with File, Import). No macros or add-ons. Example numbers are included so you can see how it works; replace them with your own.

Figures checked Oct 3, 2026: self-employment tax 15.3% on 92.35% of net profit (IRS Topic 554, Schedule SE); IRS business mileage rate 76 cents from July 1, 2026 (Announcement 2026-11). Example trade times are starting points, not market prices.
