Handyman Pricing Calculator & Estimate Template Spreadsheet

This handyman pricing calculator and estimate template helps you set a rate that covers your real costs, price every job from your own task library, and price the surprises with written change orders.

Who it's for: Solo handymen and small home-repair crews in the US, especially in their first years or anyone who suspects their prices are too low.

The problem it solves: Underpriced handyman work often loses money around the job: travel, small visits, materials runs, hidden damage and free extras. This kit builds an hourly rate on your real billable hours, adds a trip charge and minimum, prices each job from a task library with a time buffer and materials markup, and turns surprises into written change orders for the client to sign.

What's inside

• Pricing & Estimate Workbook (EXAMPLE + BLANK, .xlsx) with a starter task library
• Handyman Pricing Playbook (PDF)
• Handyman Service Agreement template (DOCX + PDF)
• Job Walkthrough Form, Change Order Form, Job Completion Sign-Off, How Our Estimates Work handout (DOCX + PDF)
• AI Prompt Pack: 25 prompts (PDF + TXT)
• Start Here guide and license

How it works

1. Enter your pay, overhead, billable hours, travel, margin and markup on My Costs.
2. Replace the starter Task Library times with your own as you log jobs.
3. Build each estimate line by line; print the Customer Estimate.
4. Price anything extra on the Change Order tab and get it signed.
5. Log every job to see your real margin and revenue per hour on the Dashboard.

Good to know

• Every number in the EXAMPLE file belongs to a made-up business; it isn't a market rate or a recommendation.
• Templates aren't legal advice; tax lines are placeholders. Have your own professionals review them.
• The tools help you run your business; they don't guarantee income or results.
• Excel .xlsx workbook, no macros; formulas tested in LibreOffice (Google Sheets and Excel open-tests pending).
• Licensing: many states and localities require a license for electrical, plumbing, gas or HVAC work, or for jobs over a dollar amount. Offer only the work you're allowed to do where you work.
