Why it matters

Markup isn't margin

Add 25% to your costs and you'd expect 25% profit. You get 20%. Trade Profit works your price backwards from the margin you want, so the profit you plan is the profit you keep.

One job, priced properly

  • Labour, materials, markup and travel£450
  • Target margin25%
  • Your quote£600
  • Profit you keep£150
  • Quote with VAT at 20%£720

Same £450 job, two ways to price it

Cost + 25% markup£562.50 · £112.50 profit
25% margin with Trade Profit£600 · £150 profit

£37.50 more on one job. Across a year of jobs, that gap is often what separates a busy year from a profitable one.

Pro has earned you

See exactly what Pro pays you back

Trade Profit keeps a running total of the money it's helped you make, from underpricing caught before you sent a quote, from higher margins, and from time saved. That total sits next to what Pro has cost you. Only jobs you've won count, and every figure is shown so you can check it.

Coaching and Trade Score

A score out of 100, and what to do about it

Your Trade Score combines how many quotes you win with how much margin you make, scored against a 40% benchmark. The margin advisor shows your best and worst jobs, and the profit simulator shows what small price changes add up to over a year.

And the details

Small things that save you money

Targets check

Every quote is checked against your target margin and the hourly rate your yearly goal needs, before you send it.

Overrun check

See what an extra few hours on site does to your profit, and how much margin you'd have left.

Profit simulator

Try a little more per hour, a higher materials markup or added scope, and see the yearly difference.

Travel and overheads

Travel, parking, subcontractors and overheads are built into every price, so they come out of the customer's pocket and not yours.

CSV export

Plain columns with ISO dates that import cleanly into Excel, Google Sheets and most accounting software.

Your own presets

Save the jobs you price every week with the hours, rate, materials, markup and travel you always use.

Questions

Good to know

Is the calculator really free?

Yes. You can price jobs, save presets, check overruns and download quotes as PDFs without paying or signing up. It stays free when Pro launches.

Which trades is it for?

Electricians, plumbers and heating engineers, plasterers, bricklayers, painters and decorators, carpenters and joiners, roofers, tilers, landscapers and groundworkers, and general builders. The calculator works for any job priced on labour and materials.

Where are my jobs saved?

On the free calculator, in your own browser on your device. Nothing is sent to us. With Pro, they're saved to your account so they work on all your devices.

I'm not VAT registered. Does it still work?

Yes. Set VAT to 0% and your quotes show the price without it. If you are registered, it adds VAT at whatever rate you set, 20% by default.

Can I cancel Pro?

Yes, anytime, from Manage billing in Settings. You keep Pro until the end of the month you've paid for, and your saved jobs aren't deleted.
