Method and assumptions
Figur combines the costs, percentages, and payments you enter using direct arithmetic to show a job-price, labor-cost, or construction-invoice estimate. Everything is calculated locally in your browser.
- Overhead, contingency, labor burden, markup, and retainage percentages are applied in the exact order shown in the breakdown.
- When sales tax is requested, this planning version applies it only to the material amount you enter.
- The progress invoice uses earned work to date, calculates retainage on that total, and then subtracts all prior payments.
- Actual costs can change with site conditions, subcontractors, waste, scheduling, contract terms, and local rules.
This tool provides planning estimates, not a binding bid, invoice, legal advice, tax advice, or accounting advice. Confirm taxes, retainage, and contract requirements with the applicable documents and qualified professionals.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use different pay rates for each worker?
This quick calculator uses one average hourly wage. For a mixed crew, enter the weighted average rate or calculate groups separately and add them.
Are the hours per worker or for the whole crew?
Enter hours for each worker. The calculator multiplies those hours by the number of workers.
