THE QUOTEHARBOR RESOURCE HUB
Service pricing guides and free quote tools
Start with the question you are trying to answer. These practical guides explain the numbers behind a service quote and help you turn them into a proposal a customer can understand.
What should I charge for a job?
Walk through labor, materials and overhead, then turn a target margin into a price. See how a discount changes the result.
Read the service-job pricing guide →Am I using margin or markup?
A 25% markup is not a 25% margin. Compare the formulas and use a worked example to check your own calculations.
Understand margin versus markup →What belongs in the customer proposal?
Check scope, exclusions, quote references, expiry dates and payment terms. Learn which private information to keep out of the customer copy.
Use the service quote checklist →Put the numbers to work
The free quote builder includes illustrative templates for cleaning, landscaping, repairs and creative work. Replace the example costs with your own, set a margin and preview a customer proposal. No account is required; saved quotes stay on your device.
