What the contractor invoice calculator does not do
- It does not suggest a markup or an hourly rate. What you charge depends on your trade, your costs and your client, none of which are arithmetic.
- It does not know your tax rate, and it does not check whether you are required to charge tax at all, or whether materials are taxed differently from labour where you work. It applies the one rate you type to everything.
- It does not keep anything. Nothing is written to your browser's storage while you use it and nothing is sent to us, so the figures are gone when you close the tab. Press Create this invoice if you need a document: the figures are handed to the invoice generator in this tab, cleared as soon as it opens, and saved there as a new invoice alongside any you already have.

Billing time with expenses passed on at cost? The hourly invoice calculator does that, with a discount. To see what a markup is as a margin, or to price one item from a target margin, use the markup and margin calculator.
