Electrical Work Pricing Calculator

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.

The overhead percentage is the input worth deriving rather than guessing: the overhead recovery rate calculator turns your monthly fixed costs into the figure this page asks for, and the total can be built from its own labor and material rows when a job has no fixture list to price from.

Sizing a run is the other half of an electrical quote, and the wire size and voltage drop calculator settles the conductor before the price is written. Accepted work then moves to the electrical work order template and, on completion, the electrical invoice template. What a shop has to carry to be on site at all is covered in electrician business insurance.
