TradeToolCalc is a free collection of business calculators built for independent US contractors — electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, roofers, general contractors, painters, carpenters, landscapers, fence contractors, and concrete contractors.
Every calculator runs entirely in your browser. No signup, no account, no ads. You use it, you get your number, you close the tab. That's it.
Most free business tools online are either too generic or deliberately simplified to upsell you to an expensive subscription. Independent tradespeople need something different: calculators built around your own numbers — your costs, your rates, your market — not a one-size-fits-all estimate.
The free calculators handle the most common calculations: job profit and margin, hourly rate, break-even, quoting, and materials cost. The Excel bundles go further — they let you save your numbers, run what-if scenarios, produce invoices, and use the same system on every job.
TradeToolCalc is built and maintained by the TradeToolCalc team — focused on one thing: giving self-employed contractors honest, editable tools instead of guesswork. Every calculator is built to run on your own numbers, so the result reflects your business, not a generic average.
Every calculator starts with clear, editable fields for your own costs, rates, hours, and materials. Nothing is locked and nothing is pre-set that you can't change — enter your real numbers and the result is specific to your business, your market, and your prices.
If you spot a bug or have a suggestion for a new calculator, please contact us.
The paid Excel bundles are expanded versions of the free calculators — more scenarios, save-able inputs, invoice and quote templates, and professional formatting for use with clients. They're a one-time purchase with no subscription and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Visit the bundles section on the homepage to see what's included.
