Trade calculators built around real jobs
Pricing a job isn't just about multiplying a day rate by the number of days. Materials, labour, waste, site access, overheads, and your target margin all affect what you actually need to charge. GoTaskhub's free trade calculators are designed around real trade jobs rather than generic percentage markups.

How our job estimator works
Most online calculators use arbitrary percentages or ask AI to guess a price. GoTaskhub pairs natural-language interpretation with verified deterministic trade cost models so you can trust the numbers.
Describe the job
Tell us what the customer wants in normal language. You don't need to know the technical jargon or navigate complicated dropdown menus.
We identify the work
The semantic parser extracts dimensions and breaks the description down into relevant materials, labour hours, and plant requirements.
We calculate the costs
The pricing engine uses deterministic trade cost models based on 2026 UK merchant benchmarks, rather than asking AI to invent a price.
You get a realistic range
Instead of pretending there is one universally correct price, you get an explainable dual range showing direct cost, contribution, and assumptions.
Use it as the starting point for your quote
Once you've worked out what the job should cost, transfer the estimate straight into a professional GoTaskhub quote to email to your customer.
