Fill out the hourly rate page and calculate to see your target charge rate.
Weekly reference pricing often starts around half the target hourly rate. Biweekly reference pricing then uses your multiplier.

Business Settings

These settings are for the business owner using the tool. They control company info and pricing defaults used inside the app.
Weekly reference uses about half the hourly rate. The biweekly reference uses that weekly reference multiplied by this number.
The calculator uses the hourly rate from the Hourly Rate page after you calculate it there. The fallback hourly rate is only used before that or if no hourly result has been calculated yet.

What this tool does

  • Calculates a target hourly rate for your business
  • Builds mowing estimates from lawn size and service complexity
  • Saves customer records locally in your browser
  • Exports and imports backup files

How pricing works

  • Labor quote = total labor hours × hourly rate used
  • Rounded quote = labor quote rounded up to your round-to setting
  • Final suggested quote = the higher of rounded quote or minimum charge
  • Weekly reference = about half the hourly rate
  • Biweekly reference = weekly reference × biweekly multiplier

Quick Estimate vs Advanced Estimate

  • Quick Estimate is faster and works well for everyday quoting
  • Advanced Estimate is better if you want to fine-tune machine speed, efficiency, custom mower width, or trim and blow time tables
