Electrical Work Pricing Calculator
Build a per-job electrical quote by fixture type. Enter outlets, switches, fixtures, and breakers with labor hours and parts costs to get a defensible recommended price.
How this is calculated
For each fixture row, labor cost = qty × laborHrs/unit × loadedRate;
parts cost = qty × partsPrice/unit. The parts total is multiplied by
1 + waste%. Overhead is added per the method you choose (fixed dollars,
% of labor, or % of direct cost).
labor = Σ qty × laborHrs × loadedRate
materials = Σ qty × partsCost × (1 + waste%)
overhead = per method (fixed | %labor | %total)
directCost = labor + materials + overhead
totalCost = directCost × (1 + contingency%)
price (markup) = totalCost × (1 + markup%)
price (margin) = totalCost / (1 − margin%)Tax, permit fees, and licensing are excluded — verify applicable requirements before finalizing a quote.
