Job profit check
Type in the price you charged, what the job cost you, and every hour it actually took, and see the real hourly rate it paid against your own target. Updates live as you type. No signup, nothing saved, nothing sent anywhere.
Runs entirely in your browser — the client names and amounts you type here are never sent to us, never stored on our side, and gone when you close the tab. Why we can say that →

Why this number and not just “was I busy?”
A full diary tells you the phone rang. It doesn’t tell you whether the jobs it booked actually paid. The price on the invoice, minus what the job cost in materials, spread across every hour it really took — on site, on the road, and writing the quote — is the only number that answers that honestly. This tool runs that arithmetic on one job at a time, using nothing but the figures you type in.
Where the "all-in hours" figure comes from
On-site hours plus travel plus quoting, admin, and chasing — three numbers that rarely get added together anywhere else. A share of your overhead belongs in a job’s real cost too, spread across the jobs that carry it; this tool only handles the direct, per-job costs and hours you type in, not that ongoing overhead share.
Once you know which jobs are running thin, how to raise your prices covers moving the number up without losing the client, and the free markup & margin calculator covers pricing the materials side of the next quote.
Want this on every job, without retyping it?
BizBinder won't run this math for you — you still do the review. What it does is keep the hours, the materials, and the invoice on the same job card, so pulling these numbers takes minutes, not an evening with a shoebox of receipts.
