What is a Job Cost Calculator?

A Job Cost Calculator is a tool used to estimate the total cost of completing a job or project. It calculates the overall cost by adding labor charges (based on hourly rate and hours worked) along with material costs and any additional expenses. This helps freelancers and professionals determine accurate pricing, manage budgeting, and present clear cost estimates to clients.

How to Use:

1. Enter Hourly Rate ($): Type your work rate per hour.
2. Enter Total Hours: Input the total hours you expect to spend on the job.
3. Enter Material Cost ($): Add any material or supply costs. If none, leave it as 0.
4. Enter Other Expenses ($): Include any additional costs associated with the job.
5. Click “Calculate Total Job Cost”: The tool will show a full breakdown of labor, material, other expenses, and the total job cost.
