Tool details and privacy
Labour is the hours multiplied by the hourly cost. The extra is a percentage of that labour and is added to it.
Hours use two decimals, so 1.5 is one and a half hours, not 90 written as minutes.
Options
- Leave the expense percentage empty and it counts as zero. Tax and a selling price are not calculated.
Limits
- Amounts use two decimal places and up to 12 digits before the decimal point. Rounding is half up.
- 1,250 is rejected. Write 1250 or 1250.50.
- Hours and the hourly cost must be above zero.

The numbers are calculated in your browser and are not sent to any server.
Questions

3 times 50 is 150, 10% of that is 15, and the total is 165.
Does 1.5 mean 90 minutes?
1.5 here is one and a half hours, which is 90 minutes, not the number 90.
Does the price include tax?
No. Enter the figures after tax if that is what you need.
