How it works

Yearly wages are the wage times the hours worked plus paid time off. Payroll taxes and workers' comp are percentages of those wages, and benefits are added on top. Divide the total by the hours actually worked to get the cost per hour worked, and by the billable hours to get the cost per hour you can charge for.

An estimate to help you price, not advice on what to charge or a tax or engineering calculation. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Price it once, then let LawnClock do the rest.

LawnClock logs your crew's arrivals and departures at each job automatically, then turns the work into quotes and invoices.
