Why these are free
Every guide runs the same cost-plus formula — price equals total cost divided by one minus your target margin — against that trade's real cost structure: crew labor, materials or chemicals, travel or fuel, and a proper overhead allocation. No email required to read the numbers. Each guide links to that trade's free calculator for a one-off job, and to the paid FieldBoss workbook that runs the same math automatically across every job if pricing is a recurring problem, not a one-time one.
