Job cost estimator
for maintenance work

A quick, believable cost estimate for a job: labor, parts, and extras. It works offline, needs no account, and has no ads. No subscription required.

How it works

Your rates, your prices, one breakdown

You type your own rates and prices. Estimates are a planning aid only, so always check them against your own quotes, records, and judgment.

Job

Start a job

Start a job and pick a starter template, or duplicate a saved job as a starting point.

Hrs

Labor

Add labor with the number of techs, the hours, and your own hourly rate.

Parts

Parts

Add parts with the prices you enter. The app ships no built-in rates.

+%

Extras and contingency

Add extras like travel or permit time, and a contingency percent you choose.

Sum

One clear breakdown

See labor, parts, extras and the grand sum together. Change one number and everything updates at once.

Off

Offline, no account

Works offline with no account and no ads. Your jobs stay on your device.
