How the Quote Calculator Works

The Quote Calculator helps you build real job quotes using customer details, job specifics, and your saved pricing structure. It's designed to reduce guesswork and give you a number you can stand behind.

What the Calculator Does

The Quote Calculator combines your real costs — disposal fees, fuel, labor, overhead — with the job details you enter to produce a professionally priced quote. It shows you profit per yard, gross profit, and total price so you always know what you're making.

Typical Quoting Workflow

1

Open the Quote Calculator from the left navigation.

2

Enter customer information — name, phone, and job address.

3

Select the job type (standard junk removal, cleanout, heavy debris, dumpster rental, etc.).

4

Set the load size, equipment, and crew details.

5

Review the cost inputs — disposal rate, fuel, labor, and overhead — and adjust as needed.

6

Review the calculated totals, profit margin, and per-yard numbers.

7

Save the quote once pricing is finalized.

8

Move forward into invoicing or scheduling directly from the quote.

💡

The Quote Calculator should help reduce guesswork and standardize your pricing process. If a number looks off, check your expenses in Settings first — that's usually where the fix is.

Job Types Supported

  • Standard junk removal
  • Garage and curbside pickup
  • Full home cleanout
  • Commercial jobs
  • Heavy debris removal
  • Hazmat and difficult access
  • Dumpster rental

Multiple Loads

For larger jobs that require multiple trips or multiple pieces of equipment, you can add additional loads directly in the calculator. The total load size updates automatically as you add or adjust loads.

Profit Targets

The calculator shows you profit per yard in real time. Your target profit per yard is set in Settings but can be adjusted per quote if a job has unusual conditions. Use this number to check your quote before sending it.
