How this is calculated

On-site hours = crew size × days × hours per day. Travel hours = crew size × round-trip hours × trips.
Vehicle cost = round-trip miles × trips × vehicle cost per mile; this assumes one vehicle per trip.
Cost = (labor + overhead + vehicle + lodging + supplies + rental) × (1 + contingency). Price = cost ÷ (1 − margin).

All money inputs use USD. Calculations retain full precision; displayed amounts are rounded. Drafts save on this device when browser storage is available. Export your worksheet to keep a separate copy.
