Hourly rate calculator
Overhead, billable days and the wage you want in. The hourly rate that pays for all three.
Markup and margin calculator
Add twenty percent to your costs and you keep sixteen point seven. Enter one job and see the price, the profit, both percentages, and what the mix-up is worth in dollars.
Texas lien deadline calculator
Texas counts to the 15th of a month. Tell it the month you did the work and it counts the notice that traps the owner money, the affidavit, and the day the lien has to be sued on.
Texas prompt payment calculator
One date in: the day you sent the payment request. Out comes the day the owner was legally late, the day the money reaches you through the general, and the day you can put the tools down without breaching.
One email a month. The lien deadline and prompt payment arithmetic this site already does for you, the dates it turns on, and every new guide the day it goes up.
Every guide here describes something the platform does. Open a working business and watch it happen instead.
