Free calculators for trade businesses
No login, no email address, nothing to download. Built for Australian tradies and GST-aware from the start.
These calculators are free and ungated. They run in your browser, they are built for Australian trade businesses, and they handle GST properly: the profit calculator strips GST out of an inc-GST quote before it works out your margin, and the rate calculator shows your hourly rate both ex-GST and inc-GST so you can quote a builder and a homeowner correctly.
Each one answers a question tradies ask all the time. Before you send a quote: how much of this price is actually profit, and what margin is that? Before you set your prices for the year: what do I need to charge per hour to cover super, leave, insurance, the ute and my tools, and still make a margin? And the two that catch people out on every quote: what margin does my markup really give me, and what does this price look like with GST added or taken out?
Change any number and the result updates as you type. Every result has a link you can copy, so you can send a rate or a job margin to a business partner, your accountant or a mate and they will see the same numbers you did. Once you know the number, TrackYaTradie tracks it live on every job.
